The Wizards are looking for their first President of Basketball Operations and General Manager for the first time since 2003. Ernie Grunfeld is no longer at the helm after Washington officially missed the 2019 NBA Playoffs which start later Saturday, April 13.
Since Grunfeld was shown the door, there is a lot of chatter that his successor could be like Brian MacLellan, the Capitals’ GM. Since he took over in 2014, MacLellan led the Capitals to sustained regular season success and the 2017-18 Stanley Cup. The Capitals are back in the 2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs where they once again have a great chance to repeat.
