Milwaukee Bucks general manager John Hammond has been one of the most integral members of the organization in its turnaround from bottom feeder to playoff team over the past couple seasons. According to Dave Begel of OnMilwaukee.com, Hammond is on the verge of being rewarded by finding himself replaced by Bucks head coach Jason Kidd, who will reportedly be named the team’s general manager later this week. Per the report: “The Milwaukee Bucks are expected to name Coach Jason Kidd general manager of the team this week, replacing John Hammond., who has been general manager since 2008. The move will give Kidd the two titles he wanted and that played a part in his leaving the Brooklyn Nets for the job in Milwaukee.” As you likely already know, one of the primary reasons Kidd was traded from the Nets to the Bucks last summer was because he wanted control over the team’s player personnel duties. - See more at: http://sportsnaut.com/2015/07/report-jason-kidd-to-be-named-bucks-general-manager/
