The Milwaukee Bucks have officially named former Director of Basketball Operations Jon Horst as their new general manager. Horst’s insertion into the GM conversation started yesterday, when Marc Stein reported that Horst was emerging as a potential candidate for the position. Adrian Wojnarowski expanded upon that news this morning indicating that while Zanik had the support of Marc Lasry, Jason Kidd and another minority owner, Wes Edens exclusion from that list illustrated his trepidation over moving forward with the reportedly one-time “GM-in-waiting.”
Assistant GM Justin Zanik had support of owner Marc Lasry, another top minority owner, Jason Kidd but full consensus was needed to hire him.
