Wizards general manager Tommy Sheppard has said he’s not afraid of taking a “big swing” when it comes to the basketball team he’s been asked to fix.
Sheppard is stepping up to the plate now in a key moment, a moment that could change the fortunes of a franchise that has been walking in the desert for more than 40 years.
Hey, the Los Angeles Clippers are in the NBA Western Conference Finals, so, it happens. Or at least seems to happen for every other team in the league but the Wizards.
Sheppard has the opportunity to hire a new coach after the unsurprising decision to part with Scott Brooks.
