The Washington Wizards want to hire Scott Brooks. Remember, the Wizards are a team that is desperately clinging to a dream scenario of Kevin Durant coming to Washington, just because it’s his hometown. Given how bad the team was this season and the uncertainties surrounding the roster, Durant will likely opt to go somewhere more stable.

So, when it was announced that Washington has Scott Brooks ranked first on their coaching list, was it that surprising?
