Jason Kidd, Bucks Reportedly Agree to New Contract
Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd is entering the final year of his contract with the team and has reportedly agreed to a new long-term deal.
Kidd's extension with the Bucks is "done," according to ESPN's Marc Stein, who added he will receive $18 million over three years after completing the final year of his current contract at $5 million.
The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski reported earlier on Monday that the Bucks were "finalizing a three-year, $15 million-plus extension" with Kidd.

How NBA Playoffs Exposing Terrible Trades and Contracts 😬
Wojnarowski first reported May 28 that the Bucks were "moving toward a contract extension" with Kidd.
Kidd, 43, has spent the past two seasons as the team's head coach, going 74-90 and leading Milwaukee to the postseason in the 2014-15 season.
Wojnarowski also reported the Bucks were hiring Utah Jazz executive Justin Zanik to become the team's general-manager-in-waiting behind current GM John Hammond, who has one year left on his contract.
The potential that Zanik takes over as the general manager as soon as next year makes Kidd's situation particularly interesting. If the team's ownership feels strongly that Kidd should remain the team's head coach, it could mean Zanik inherits his first coach rather than making the hire himself.
Kidd's tenure as a head coach in the NBA has been a mixed bag. He was 44-38 in his only season with the Brooklyn Nets, leading the team to the postseason, before being traded to the Bucks prior to the 2014-15 season.
He led the team to the playoffs in his first year, though this past season was a major disappointment, as the Bucks limped to a 33-49 record.
While he has aided in the development of young stars Giannis Antetokounmpo (16.9 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 4.3 APG), Jabari Parker (14.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG) and Khris Middleton (18.2 PPG, 4.2 APG), Kidd wasn't able to get the most out of Greg Monroe this season, and there are lingering questions about the decision to trade Brandon Knight in 2015.
