Jeff Weltman: Bringing in a new coach can have a great impact

Here’s Orlando Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman on improving the roster without taking away from their identity/expecting to become a luxury tax team next year.

(via Orlando Magic):

“Those are our challenges. I think that I said last time at the [trade] deadline, ‘Do we really want to break into this core? Because if you’re going to make a major move, then you’re going to break into the core.’ So, we have to see what major moves are in front of us. We have to see what smaller nibbles we can take. I will say this, short of acquiring a star player, I do believe that the greatest impact that you can have on a team is to bring in a new coach.

“And so, I do think that we have a lot of different avenues and ways that we need to improve and get better. And we’ll kinda tap into all those and see if we can put our guys in the best possible position to succeed, including rounding out the roster with veteran guys that know how to come in and win and are reliable and consistent that help our main guys kinda facilitate their ceiling.”
