The Wizards will fall short of expectations for the second straight season, which could mean big changes for the front office this summer. Although no one’s fate has been decided yet, it looks like Celtics’ assistant GM Mike Zarren could be a frontrunner to be the Wizards’ new top executive if Washington goes in a new direction, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.
Zarren’s name has surfaced as a potential target for the Pelicans and for Washington if the Wizards’ owner, Ted Leonsis, responds to his team’s unsightly (and, to be fair, injury-filled) 30-44 campaign with the management shake-up he has long resisted.
