June 23, 2019 According to Ted Leonsis, Ferry is still in the running for the Wizards' general manager job, the team's owner told The Washington Times Sunday.
Ferry, a former DeMatha High School and Duke basketball star who previously served as the GM of the Cavaliers, Hawks, and on an interim basis with the Pelicans this past season,
interviewed for the Wizards' opening after the April 2 firing of
Ernie Grunfeld.
Ferry was on with
Grant & Danny last Friday and discussed his meeting with Leonsis
"I enjoyed meeting Ted, I had never met him before and got to know him a little bit," Ferry said. "That said, it's definitely more appropriate for the Wizards, as they're going through their process, to lead the process."
"But I did enjoy meeting him, and they're working obviously ... on free agency right now. They're focused on that, and right now I'm focused on just staying engaged in basketball."
