Otega Oweh made headlines today after delivering a passionate and candid response when asked about recent speculation surrounding the potential hiring of a new general manager amid the team’s ongoing roster rebuild.
During a media session following team workouts, Oweh was pressed on whether uncertainty in the front office could impact the locker room’s focus and chemistry. The rising star didn’t hold back.
“I don’t care who’s in the front office,” Oweh said firmly. “That’s not my job. My job is to compete, grow, and help this team win — regardless of who’s calling the shots upstairs.”
Oweh went on to stress the importance of accountability and urgency during what many see as a critical transitional phase for the franchise.
“We’re not here to sit around waiting for someone to fix things for us. Rebuild or not, complacency has no place in this locker room. We’re locked in, and we expect everyone — from top to bottom — to be the same.”
His comments come amid growing speculation that the franchise is closing in on hiring a new GM following the departure of the previous executive earlier this season. While official announcements are still pending, team insiders suggest a decision could come as early as next week.
Oweh’s assertive tone and leadership have not gone unnoticed, with coaches and teammates praising his maturity and competitive edge.
As the organization navigates major changes both on and off the court, voices like Oweh’s may prove pivotal in shaping a culture that refuses to accept anything less than full commitment.
More updates to follow as the GM search and roster moves continue to unfold.
