This site has recently reported on the potential candidates for the Los Angeles Lakers head coaching job, and their strengths and weaknesses.
Of the realistic candidates, the one who Lakers fans seem to prefer is Quin Snyder, who is currently the head coach for the Utah Jazz.
Earlier in the season, when the rumors that Frank Vogel would be fired started to circulate, the idea of Snyder replacing him seemed like a pie-in-the-sky prospect.
Then a few weeks ago, NBA insider Marc Stein said that he was a probable candidate.
Right now, Snyder and his team are preparing for their first-round playoff matchup versus the Dallas Mavericks.
But as of now, he reportedly doesn’t seem that interested in coaching LeBron James and company next year.
“To be honest — I’ve heard from a lot of people who are close to Quin or who have worked with Quin or have known Quin in the past — it doesn’t seem like Lakers is something that he really would want. I feel like that interest and his name popping up might be coming more so from the Los Angeles side of things and that the San Antonio job would be far more attractive to him.”
It is unclear if Snyder will even move on from the Jazz, although another early playoff exit could cause him to do so.
