Do you think we will be able to hire a coach before the draft starts? I think it's pretty important to do so, to get some input from the guy who will be running things into who we pick. I know drafting Wiggins is a no-brainer if we get the #1 pick, but I think everything else after that is subject to opinion.

I can't remember what team it was, but didn't someone wait til like the day before the draft to hire a GM? Or was it a HC? I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure i remember it happening, or being super close to happening.
 
Yes, I do think the timing allows a new coach to be in place before the draft. But I disagree on the amount of input he'll have in regards to the pick. It will be minimal. Lindsey, Perrin, Sloan, the international scout (I forget his name) and even KOC will have the major input. I think the more important deadline for the coach and his staff is summer league. You want to give the new staff time to evaluate Burke, Gobert, the new pick(s), etc. If I were the new coach, I'd even ask Favors, Burks and Kanter to attend practices. I don't include Hayward because he doesn't have a contract.

Corbin was accredited for the decision to trade up for Burke. I think you underestimate how much influence a coach has on the draft. At the end of the day, the coach decides how the team plays, so it is imperative you get feedback from the coach on who he thinks he could work with.

I remember that. I think it was the GM who they made stay and create their draft board before firing him, I believe.

I remembered POR firing their GM Kevin Pritchard literally 3-4 days before the draft. (but was asked to carried out his duty before he leaves)

Summer League is the important deadline.

I believe there are some rules on summer practices with coaching staff and players, though. Was bred so that a team can't schedule ridiculous amounts of OTA.
 
Also, I think I remember a football team going into the draft without a HC in place?

Terrible memory doe.
