The Lakers' coach selection process continues, but from the current point of view, their two favorite candidates are difficult to achieve.
The Lakers are interested in Jazz head coach Snyder. Currently, Snyder and the Jazz have one year left on their contracts to jump out of the contract in the summer of 2023. But given that the Jazz have not achieved a breakthrough in the past few seasons, and this season has fallen into the first round of the playoffs, even if Snyder and the Jazz still have a contract, it will not be surprising that the Jazz and Snyder, who have been rumored to have a deal, parted ways in advance.
According to the US media "Open-air Stand Sports", although the Lakers are interested in Snyder, sources who know Snyder say that the Position of Lakers head coach is not attractive to Snyder.
Snyder, 55, served as an assistant coach for the Lakers in the 2011-12 season. In addition to the rumors with the Lakers, Snyder also had gossip with the Hornets and Spurs. It is reported that he may also succeed Popovich to coach the Spurs.
At the same time, another head coach of the Lakers is Raptors head coach Nas. But in this regard, Raptors president Ujerry said that no team has contacted him, and he also fantasizes that his team wants Messi and C Ronaldo, so he fantasizes about who will too. The implication is that the Lakers' intention of Nas at this time is simply delusional.
One reason why Nas and the Lakers have a scandal is that his agency is close to James and Davis, but given that Nas has just received a big contract from the Raptors, it is difficult for Nas to achieve even if he really has the heart to coach the Lakers.
