On Tuesday, the Wizards relieved Ernie Grunfeld of his duties as the President of Basketball Operations. In the afternoon, team owner Ted Leonsis had an interview with media. Here are some of the points he made.
Leonsis made the decision to terminate Grunfeld last week once the Wizards missed the playoffs. However, the team was in the middle of a four-game road trip against Western Conference opponents. Though Leonsis didn’t mention it, yesterday was April Fools Day, so it was probably better to wait until Tuesday.
Sometimes, Leonsis mentioned that he will do some soul searching with the Wizards over the next two to three weeks.
