Former Clippers GM Michael Winger, who took a job in Washington to run the Wizards, their G League team and the WNBA Mystics, talks one-on-one with The Times about his tenure in L.A.
In February, he was one of several key voices supporting the addition of guard, whom he knew well from Oklahoma City, “loved” that Westbrook ultimately joined and revived his career.
“I would have liked to have won one or more championships in the four years that we’ve had Paul and Kawhi, but every team that tries to win a championship and doesn’t wishes that they would have won a championship,” Winger said. “I mean, certainly winning at the highest level would have been awesome. What else? That’s really it.
The Wizards last made the playoffs in 2021, their only postseason appearance since 2018. The franchise has not advanced past the second round since 1979. Winger has familiarity with the coach tasked with the turnaround, as Wes Unseld Jr. interviewed with the Clippers for their top job in 2020. The bulk of his conversations with Leonsis, Winger said, were spent on finding where they aligned on what he called a big-picture vision for building an organization. Winger values process. So does Leonsis, he said. Leonsis wanted to know Winger’s thoughts on developing a “culture” that could lead to sustainable success.
