It’s impossible at this time to say exactly what will happen in each case, but fans can begin to prepare themselves for any reality that may occur. In attempting to cover the entire spectrum of possibilities, we’ll look at both a best and worst-case scenario for the given situation, as well as the effect each would have.

Many of these storylines also interweave, meaning that one player’s performance may have far-reaching effects that influence the entire team.
Some of the following issues may even be resolved fairly simply, as we have virtually no idea at this point what rotations or even lineups coach Jason Kidd will utilize.
Others still may continue to inspire disagreement year-round, but either way it’s important that fans understand the issues possibilities facing their team in the coming year.
