Bucks Extend Hammonds Contract

[Goose85]

Bucks extend Hammonds contract through the 2016-17 season. Now has the same contract length as Kidd.

Smart move by the owners...I think Hammond is a good GM. Since he left Detroit as assistant GM (which included a NBA title in 2004), Dumars has struggled building a respectable team in Detroit without Hammond. Kidd is at his best as coach, and can recruit big name players in Free Agency. Bucks have a very good organizational structure right now.

Hammond has proof in Middleton, Giannis on his resume in finding talent, Bucks did well to hang onto him and hopefully for the long term beyond 2017. Going to need his eye on talent when Giannis and Parker are due new contracts.

Agreed on Hammond-Kidd needing to work as a team going forward. Interesting to see Rod Thorn's fit to this group.
