A report from Dave Begel of OnMilwaukee.com on Sunday evening indicated that the Milwaukee Bucks were on the verge of replacing general manager John Hammond with head coach Jason Kidd.

Suski continued on Bucks "Our owners are extremely happy with the team we have in place and the tremendous strides we're making.
