Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder declined to discuss his contract status with reporters Monday amid rumors that the Los Angeles Lakers could be interested in bringing him aboard.
“My family loves it here,” Snyder said, per Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune.
“… The experience continues to be a great one. … Beyond that, I continue to maintain that I’m not going to discuss my contractual situation publicly.”
Longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein reported Saturday on his Substack that the Lakers, who need a new head coach after parting ways with Frank Vogel, are waiting to see if Snyder or Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers becomes available.
“Former Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts, Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham, Toronto Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin and Jackson are the four known candidates to have interviewed with the Lakers to date. Sources maintain that the Lakers’ search is moving deliberately at least in part because L.A. wants to see if Philadelphia’s Doc Rivers or Utah’s Quin Snyder makes it to the open market this offseason.”
Per Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer, Snyder has one year left on his contract. He also has an option for 2023-24, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick.
