[Scotto] Some names to keep an eye on should Charlotte make a change in the front office or Kupchak moves to a different role within the organization include Nets Assistant GM Jeff Peterson and Wizards Senior VP of Player Personnel Travis Schlenk.

   > Peterson and Schlenk have ties to Hornets co-chairman and governor Rick Schnall from their time together in Atlanta, where Schnall was a minority owner of the Hawks and an alternate governor on the NBA Board of Governors since 2015.

2. How dumb would it be to look at the state of the Wizards roster and say “thanks, but no thanks?” Don’t know anything about the guy, but it’s not like they’ve got too many ringers to keep, right?

3. Travis Schlenk is the guy who did the Luka-Trae trade in Atlanta, no thanks

4. This org needs fresh blood badly. Letting Mitch hang around in another role would be a disaster. Everyone has to go. Especially anyone with the last name Jordan.

5. Seeing Travis Schlenk’s name is depressing. He failed to build a competent team in Atlanta, and is now partially responsible for this years Wizards. His familiarity with the owner shouldn’t factor in if we’re turning the corner on MJ as owner.

   Idk anything about the Peterson guy outside of the article I just read about him, but at least he’s young, fresh blood that seems well respected around the league.
