The Washington Wizards hired Johnny Rogers in a newly created position of VP of Pro Personnel, league sources told Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe of ESPN.

Rogers was previously an executive for the Clippers. 

Rogers has a strong scouting reputation built through his time with the Thunder and Clippers, according to Wojnarowski. 

C.J. Miles will undergo surgery on a stress fracture in his left foot.

Miles will be reevaluated in six weeks.

The Wizards acquired Miles in a trade with the Grizzlies earlier this summer for Dwight Howard.

John Wall "probably won't play" next season as he rehabs his Achilles injury, according to Ted Leonsis.

Wall initially had heel surgery last winter, then tore his Achilles while recovering from surgery. 

Wall has four years remaining on his contract. 

Ted Leonsis praised Tommy Sheppard's global viewpoint of basketball ahead of Sheppard's introductory press conference as the new general manager of the Washington Wizards.

"Our big goal was to get more coachable players that fit a system that the coaches wanted to play, that would get us younger, hungrier players that would be helped by our development coaches. And Tommy is also a big believer -- like us in ownership -- that the world is a big place. He's very fluent in the global view of basketball," said Leonsis.

Sheppard said that the Wizards will offer Bradley Beal the full max contract "at the very first moment allowed."

Leonsis added that the Wizards have the potential for a quick turnaround. 

"If we can bring John [Wall] back and, with Brad, develop our draft picks and assets, start to manage the [salary] cap, why can't this be quick? It doesn't need to be a five years it took when we drafted John and Brad. We can turn this one faster."

The Washington Wizards plan on offering Bradley Beal a three-year, $111 million max contract extension.

"At the very first moment allowed, we are going to offer Brad the full max extension," Tommy Sheppard told ESPN.

Beal has until Oct. 21st to sign the extension, which he will consider.

"There are moments in a career where there are big decisions to make, and Brad will work through everything and figure out the right thing to do," agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN. "There are nothing but great feelings for Ted [Leonsis], Tommy and Scott [Brooks]. They've treated Brad wonderfully."

The Washington Wizards have hired John Thompson III to run their new athlete development & engagement department. 

Thompson will use his vast experience to lead a team that will focus on maximizing player potential both on and off the court for all Monumental Basketball athletes. Employing a holistic development approach, the department will focus on financial literacy, post-playing career opportunities and the overall empowerment and development of the athletes.

The Washington Wizards have hired Sashi Brown as as chief planning and operations officer.

A graduate of Harvard Law and Hampton University, Brown is a seasoned NFL executive who has served within both football and business operations.

In 2016, Brown was promoted to executive vice president of football operations for the Cleveland Browns, where he was responsible for developing the organization’s short and long-term visions and strategies in collaboration with the ownership group.  He also oversaw Cleveland’s scouting functions and management of the roster and salary cap.

Tommy Sheppard has instituted a structural change in how the Washington Wizards operate since taking over from Ernie Grunfeld as interim general manager, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

Sheppard will be unveiled as the permanent general manager of the team on Monday.

The Wizards are "significantly more collaborative" under Sheppard than the top-down approach of Grunfeld, with Sheppard receiving more input from members below him on the organization chart.

The team are also expected to make further additions within the basketball operations group in the upcoming weeks, according to The Athletic. 

The Washington Wizards promoted Jarell Christian to an NBA assistant, sources told Candace Buckner of The Washington Post.

Christian coached the Wizards' G League team in their debut season. Ryan Richman will replace Christian as the head coach of the Capital City Go-Go.

The Wizards also reached out to Maurice Cheeks about taking a role as an assistant to Scott Brooks, league sources told Fred Katz of The Athletic. Cheeks turned down the opportunity to remain with the Thunder. 

Tommy Sheppard will be the next general manager for the Washington Wizards, league sources told Candace Buckner of The Washington Post.

Sheppard had been operating on an interim basis since Ernie Grunfeld was fired in early April. Sheppard has been with the team for close to 20 years.

Sheppard will be officially unveiled on Monday.
