Cassell won three NBA titles and won an All-Star selection during his 15-year playing career.
The Wizards parted ways with Scott Brooks in early June after failing to reach a new agreement, despite the fact that the team achieved a great comeback to get into the playoffs, where they were eliminated by the 76ers.
