Wizards owner Ted Leonsis remains the man with the plan: Ted Leonsis gave the most succinct answer he ever will. The loquacious owner was asked whether he considered broader changes to the Washington Wizards — specifically, removing Ernie Grunfeld as team president — and Leonsis didn’t hesitate or back in to a response. “Not really,” he said. -- The Washington Post

Wizards, Scott Brooks both got what they wanted: Last week, Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld and vice president Tommy Sheppard flew to Newport Beach, Calif., with one directive from their boss, owner Ted Leonsis: Convince Scott Brooks to become the franchise’s next coach. -- The Washington Post

Wizards’ personnel changes could include vice president of scouting: The Washington Wizards will look very different next season with new head Coach Scott Brooks, a fresh crop of assistants by his side, and an overhauled roster.

Leonsis: Trade for Markieff Morris secures Grunfeld's future: That Ernie Grunfeld would remain as president of the Wizards after a failed season outside of the playoffs was shocking to many, but it shouldn't have been. For the last two months, including what had been reported at CSNmidatlantic.com, barring an 11th-hour change of heart majority owner Ted Leonsis wasn't making any changes. He always had a contract. Wednesday, Leonsis made his position official with the decision-making process that led to the firing of Randy Wittman as coach, hiring Scott Brooks to replace him and keeping Grunfeld on board. -- CSN Mid-Atlantic

Youth movement under Brooks?: Under coach Randy Wittman, young players had difficulty getting playing time and routinely were on a short leash. Otto Porter's development as a rookie in 2013 was hampered by a hip injury but it took him a while to blossom. Kelly Oubre, who the Wizards traded up for last year, shined when he got his chance but disappeared from the rotation. Under Scott Brooks, introduced as Wittman's replacement on Wednesday, majority owner Ted Leonsis expects a significant change. -- CSN Mid-Atlantic

Wizards score 'perfect coach' in Scott Brooks: When Ernie Grunfeld went to meet Scott Brooks with the hopes of luring him to coach the Wizards, his directives from owner Ted Leonsis were clear: Don't come back until you have an agreement. Wednesday, the Wizards introduced Brooks, who signed a five-year, $35 million deal, as the replacement for Randy Wittman after a 41-41 season without a playoff appearance for the first time in three years. -- CSN Mid-Atlantic
