We wondered last week if the Wizards were going to relaunch Troy Weaver And ESPN tells us that yes, since the 56-year-old manager becomes the new advisor of the franchise in the capital, now ready to focus on training.
An environment in which the former GM of the Pistons, fired at the beginning of the month, will not feel too out of place, because he will find Michael Winger and Will Dawkins, respectively president and GM of Washington. Two men he has already worked with at the Thunder over the past decade.
The arrival of Troy Weaver comes at a pivotal moment in the Wizards' reconstruction, since they will have the 2nd pick during this Wednesday's Draft. According to the latest rumors, it is the Frenchman Alexandre Sarr who should join the local squad, where, remember, his compatriot Bilal Coulibaly is located. A few days later, the DC franchise will then turn to the free agency.
A native of Washington, the former leader of the Pistons will in any case try to do better than in Detroit, where his choices did not make it possible to revive the franchise, the team's results continuing to get worse (23% of victories in four years, with three 15th places in the East…) under his mandate.
