Snyder might be a good fit for the Lakers next season. A good coach can help build better team chemistry and communication in games, which the Lakers lack. Injury-prone players like Anthony Davis might also get some help, with a coach who can have control over their game in terms of pace, minutes, and load.

Why would he leave Donovan Mitchell and being a Top 4 Seed Every Season to play with LeChoke 😂😂😂😂😂😂

He'd be crazy to take on that terrible roster. Maybe in 2 years when LBJ and RW are gone. Trade AD for anything you can get.

No coach would do well with the roster they gave Vogel. Now they wanna part ways after a roster that he knew wouldn’t work wont work.

Why would anybody want to coach LeBron, at this point you’re just a puppet working for him until he decides to retire. But unlike Tom Brady who’s in a similar situation in Tampa, LeBron doesn’t win all the time in his late 30s like Brady did.
