The Milwaukee Bucks are working toward an extension with coach Jason Kidd and are hiring Utah Jazz executive Justin Zanik as the franchise's general-manager-in-waiting, according to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.
Milwaukee finished the season 33-49, 12th in the Eastern Conference and 11 games out of a playoff spot. But the Bucks have a promising nucleus of young players and are working with the city and state to move into a new downtown arena, so maintaining continuity is important.
