Since Tommy Sheppard was fired as the Wizards’ General Manager last week, the team has not held a press conference regarding his departure. And all we know is that the Wizards hope to bring in someone from outside the organization.
According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans General Manager Trajan Langdon, Minnesota Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly and Toronto Raptors President Masai Ujiri are possible candidates.
Langdon has been the Pelicans’ GM since 2019 and have missed the playoffs in three of his four seasons there. They made the playoffs in the 2021-22 despite a 36-46 regular season and missed the playoffs this season despite a 42-40 regular season record.
