Vintage Men Nike NBA 2022-23 Classic Edition Jersey Men Does Quin Snyder’s lack of interest in the Lakers show where the team’s reputation stands?
If I was to tell you, random person reading this, that the LakDerrick Rose | Dirk Nowitzki Jerseysers would have an opening at head coach at a time where LeBron James is coming off a season he just missed leading the league in scoring and is paired with an in-his-prime Anthony Davis, you’d think the line of elite interested candidates would be around the corner, right?
At the very least, you wouldn’t see potentially available coaches actively pushing themselves away from any and all rumors tying them to the Lakers, certainly.
As we’ve found out, though, Quin Snyder has done just that and, sure, it might just be public negotiations to force the Lakers to really pay up, but several reports and his own words indicate he is flat out not interested in coaching the Lakers despite their very clear reported interest.
