Hammond says Bucks never had interest in trading John Henson

On Christmas, the Bucks were in position to at least take calls on John Henson. Now, they’re close to declaring Henson part of the team’s long-term core.

“We’ve never had any interest in trading John Henson,” says John Hammond, the Bucks’ GM. “He’s the kind of player you want in your organization for a long time.”

Henson has shot 58 percent since coming back, and the Bucks have outscored opponents by nearly eight points per 48 minutes with Henson on the floor in that stretch.
