Bucks Interested In Wilcox, Karnisovas, Dinwiddie, Karnisovas For GM Job

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Milwaukee Bucks have been granted permission to interview several front office candidates as they look to fill their general manager vacancy.

John Hammond departed the Bucks last week to join the Orlando Magic with Justin Zanik acting as interim GM.

Milwaukee made calls on Tuesday to inquire about Indiana vice president of basketball operations Peter Dinwiddie, Denver assistant GM Arturas Karnisovas, Memphis Grizzlies VP of player personnel Ed Stefanski and Atlanta Hawks special adviser to ownership Wes Wilcox.

Stefanski and Wilcox both were general managers in the NBA. Stefanski was GM of the Philadelphia 76ers (2007-11) and Wilcox was with the Hawks (2015-17).

Dinwiddie and Karnisovas have emerged as two of the NBA’s most respected young front-office executives.

Stefanski is horrible. Only good he ever did was hiring Doug Collins and even that he admits he should have done the year before.

I thought Zanik was considered to be the heir apparent? what happened there?

There wasn't a wiretap about a week or so ago saying that wasn't an actual commitment from the Bucks. We did hear that it was going to him after Hammonds contract would end.
