Seeing windows shaking and tiles falling from the ceiling, Winger and his Clippers colleagues ran toward what they hoped was a structurally integral area. The public didn't know about the moment in part because Winger kept such a low profile as the team's second highest-ranking basketball executive. But other teams around the NBA knew plenty about Winger and his renown for understanding the league's collective bargaining agreement and salary cap. Winger plans to officially wind down his role with the Clippers next week before turning his attention fully on the Wizards. Winger has familiarity with the coach tasked with the turnaround, as Wes Unseld Jr. interviewed with the Clippers for their top job in 2020.
