#5 Getting a general manager

The day came when Wizards fans had their wish come true. Ernie Grunfeld, who had been the general manager of the Washington Wizards since 2003, was fired this past April. There were immediate candidates, including Denver Nuggets' Tim Connelly (who later stayed with the Nuggets) and Toronto Raptors' Masai Ujiri (there was reportedly no contact with him).

As of now, Tommy Sheppard is the interim GM for the Wizards. I'm sure Wizards fans can agree with me, anyone that isn't Grunfeld is automatically better. If Sheppard makes some good moves this offseason (did well through the draft) with what was left from Grunfeld, he could be the new GM.

It's up to owner Ted Leonsis to decide who can lead his team to the top of the Eastern Conference and beyond. Let us just hope he does not follow in Grunfeld's footsteps and gives this team a better future.
