Long-Term Plans: TOR, ORL, DAL; When to Challenge; How to Navigate Conflict w/ Coaches: What is the future for 3 interesting teams at different points in the success cycle, Toronto, Orlando, and Dallas? For the Raptors, we assess where Pascal Siakam is as a foundational piece, plus whether it makes sense to move their veterans and what they might get on the trade market, plus how to set up for Giannis in 2021. Orlando is off to a rough offensive start, is there a path forward into contention for this group or are major changes needed? We also look at how Dallas can get a 3rd piece to pair with KP and Luka, or whether they should try to fill in with role guys around them instead? Then we take stock of how coaches have been using challenges so far and when is the best time to use them. Finally we get into how a front office can address the situation when there’s a difference with the coach on how and who to play.
