Stephen A. Smith rips Ted Leonsis over Wizards: 'What the hell are you doing?'
ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith blasted Wizards owner Ted Leonsis on Monday for failing to name a new president of basketball operations months after firing Ernie Grunfeld.
On his ESPN radio show, Smith tore into Leonsis— saying the situation was “just embarrassing.” The long-time NBA analyst also expressed sympathy for guard Bradley Beal.
The Wizards have yet to name a full-time president of basketball operations or general manager since Grunfeld was fired on April 2. Former assistant GM Tommy Sheppard is running the front office on an interim basis.
