Some NBA teams live in the moment. Others are looking towards the future.
Preparing for the future doesn’t look the same for everybody. Your preparations will depend on what you’re anticipating. NBA teams are no exception.
For example, the Detroit Pistons are one of the worst teams in the NBA. By all appearances, they intend on being better next season, but that may be easier said than done.
By contrast, the Oklahoma City Thunder look like they’re ready to take the next step. This team could really make some noise in 2023-24.
If they wanted to start preparing to do so now, that would be justified.
Could they do so by prying Bojan Bogdanovic from the Detroit Pistons?
