The Bucks are setting things up to transition franchise leadership to newly-hired Justin Zanik.
Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond agreed to one-year contract extension on Friday, according to Yahoo! Sports. His deal is now set to expire after the 2017-2018 season. Following Hammond's departure, Assistant General Manager Justin Zanik is expected to take over the position.
Hammond's impending exit has been in the works (or, at the very least, the rumor mill) for some time, with various reports suggesting he and the team were formulating a transition plan to turn the team over to new leadership in the near future.
