Earlier in the day Bucks general manager John Hammond addressed any franchise instability by saying he is in discussions with team owner Herb Kohl about a contract extension.

Hammond is in the last year of his contract, while Brandon Jennings will become a restricted free agent and Monta Ellis holds a player option on his deal at the end of the current season.

“I will say the Senator (Kohl) and I are in discussions involving an extension for me at this point,” Hammond said. “I am willing to discuss that (an extension).”
