What thought is never far from the consciousness of an NBA General Manager like, for example, the Toronto Raptors‘ Masai Ujiri? How do I make my team better? At no point can he let down his guard in the belief that he’s in a Panglossian situation. He’s not doing his job if he’s not peppering himself and his staff with questions like:
- What if Kyle Lowry/JV/DeMar gets hurt?
- How are we balancing winning today with winning tomorrow? Put another way, how are our coaches furthering the development of our young players?
