The Milwaukee Bucks intend to match any offer sheets signed by Brandon Jennings.

Jennings will become a restricted free agent on July 1.

"It's our intention for Brandon Jennings to remain a Milwaukee Buck," John Hammond said. "We're hoping to negotiate with him fairly through the July process.

"At the conclusion of our negotiations if we have not reached a deal and they choose to go out and seek an opportunity in the open market, our intention then would still be to match."

The Bucks have been in contact with Jennings since the season ended.

"He's been tremendous and he's been very positive," Hammond said of his conversations with Jennings.

The Milwaukee Bucks have interest in J.R. Smith and Chris Copeland.

Smith and Copeland are free agents of the New York Knicks.

The Bucks are in a position to potentially offer more money to Smith and Copeland than the Knicks.

Smith was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year.

The Toronto Raptors are interested in signing Gal Mekel.

Mekel had an impressive workout last week with the Milwaukee Bucks and will audition on Monday for the Dallas Mavericks.

Mekel is a point guard currently on Maccabi Haifa and was the MVP in Israel.

Mekel, who was born in Israel, played at Wichita State and is just 25.

Monta Ellis has informed the Milwaukee Bucks that he will opt out of his contract for the 13-14 NBA season.

Ellis had an option for $11 million.

The Bucks had offered Ellis an extension worth $36 million.

The Toronto Raptors will hire Jeff Weltman as their second in command behind Masai Ujiri.

Weltman will remain with the Milwaukee Bucks, however, until after the draft.

Weltman signed an extension with the Bucks in January.

The Milwaukee Bucks offered a two-year extension to Monta Ellis that would have resulted in a total package of nearly $36 million over three years, according to sources.

Ellis would have had to opt in to the additional two years.

Ellis has until June 20 to decide whether to opt into the final season of his deal. Ellis signed a six-year, $66 million contract with the Golden State Warriors in 2008.

Shane Larkin might be gone by the time the Milwaukee Bucks select 15th in the NBA Draft, but he would want the organization to pick him if possible.

"I kind of had that same setup down in Miami," Larkin said. "So coming in here and running the pick-and-roll with those guys would be a lot like at Miami. It seems like a good fit to me."

Larkin, 20, has studied the Bucks' personnel and said he would be comfortable playing in a lineup with Larry Sanders and Ersan Ilyasova.

"Actually Larry Sanders was at VCU when coach Shaka (Smart) was recruiting me, so I knew about him," Larkin said. "I played with a stretch 4 (at Miami), so that's like Ersan."

Jeff Weltman is being pursued by the Toronto Raptors to join their front office.

Weltman has been with the Milwaukee Bucks since 2008 and received an extension in January.

Weltman has received interest from the Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns for their general manager vacancies in recent years.

Masai Ujiri has been turning over the Raptors' front office since being hired last week as GM.

Herb Kohl is committed to keeping the Milwaukee Bucks from relocating by replacing the Bradley Center.

The Bradley Center opened in 1988.

"We have to find a way and we will find a way," Kohl said. "We know we have to find a way to a new facility and we will. The question is when and how. But we will because that is the future of not only the Bucks ... Milwaukee and Wisconsin need a 21st century sports and entertainment complex."

Kohl was asked how long he is going to stay owner of the Bucks.

"For the foreseeable future," Kohl said. "I have always said I will own the team until it's sold at some point to somebody or some group that ... is dedicated to keeping it here in Wisconsin. So when the time comes and the right person or group appears, my mind will start moving in another direction. But they must stay here. That's the bottom line."
