The Milwaukee Bucks hired Jon Horst as general manager after their ownership group was unable to agree upon elevating Justin Zanik.

Marc Lasry wanted to elevate Zanik when John Hammond left as they initially planned. But Wesley Edens exercised his veto power.

Horst was described as a "reluctant compromise" by one Bucks' insider.

Multiple agents and executives expressed concern about the way ownership has managed its in-house relationships during its short tenure.
