The Wizards are not firing Scott Brooks this summer. I think it’s much more likely he gets an extension. But if they did decide to send him packing, what should they look for in a replacement?
For a team in win now mode, which is what the Wizards will be over the next couple seasons, the likely move would be to hire a retread. Ted Leonsis and Tommy Sheppard would couch it in terms of experience and leadership, and fans would get excited by the brand name coach who’d led his team to the conference Finals a couple times.
