Scott Brooks and the Washington Wizards have agreed upon a five-year $35 million deal. 

Brooks replaces Randy Wittman as head coach. Brooks was also a strong candidate for the Houston Rockets.

The Oklahoma City Thunder fired Brooks last offseason. 

The Wizards have been planning on pursuing Kevin Durant in the 2016 offseason for several seasons and the presence of Brooks can only help their chances even if they're still considered a longshot.
