Marc Stein of ESPN.com reports that the Bucks have found a new GM -- Pistons assistant GM John Hammond.
While Joe Dumars has gotten all the credit for building an Eastern Conference power in Detroit, Hammond is as responsible as anyone. The Pistons' front office, which includes highly regarded international scouting director Tony Ronzone, is the envy of all teams currently blowing up, or contemplating blowing up, their organizational charts.
The pressure is on Dumars now to keep Ronzone, who is on Donnie Walsh's radar as he prepares to revamp the Knicks' front office, including the international scouting department.
Milwaukee also interviewed Dave Griffin and Rick Sund, but were never serious players for Walsh's services. The notoriously cheap Bucks weren't prepared to pay a GM as much as the Knicks are paying Walsh.
