Finger: For Spurs and Quin Snyder, it won’t come full-circle
FILE - Utah Jazz Head Coach Quinn Snyder gives instructions to his team during the first half of an NBA basketball game, March 12, 2022, in Salt Lake City. Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, that Snyder, the former Utah coach, will be “somebody we will consider” in the search to replace Nate McMillan. The Hawks fired McMillan on Tuesday, Feb.
There are no hard feelings here. The Spurs’ organizational admiration of Snyder continues unabated, while Snyder may or may not have been playing a hunch about how long it will be before the San Antonio coaching job comes open. Even as a team-record losing streak stretched to 16 games, a 74-year-old Popovich has given no indication he’s likely to step away any time soon.
In 2025 and in 2027, the Spurs will get Atlanta’s first-round picks. In 2026, they’ll have the right to swap places with Atlanta in the first round. None of those picks are protected in any way. Essentially, the worse Snyder does as coach of the Hawks, the better it will be for the Spurs’ long-term future.
The good news for the Hawks, though, is that Snyder, 56, isn’t likely to find any of this daunting. Daunting was the way his career prospects looked in 2006, when his seven-year stint as coach at Missouri came to an ugly end in the wake of an NCAA investigation into alleged recruiting violations and three subpar seasons on the court.For the better part of a year, he had nothing to do with basketball. Then, in May 2007, came an unexpected opportunity.
