Utah Jazz GM Justin Zanik met with the media Friday following the team's latest playoff ouster, and answered questions on such topics as Quin Snyder's future, and the relationship between Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
The team’s day-to-day front office operator answered questions for about 25 minutes on another season ended too soon, and what’s coming next.
Among the first questions posed to him was about head coach Quin Snyder’s future with the organization, and the status of the reportedly unsigned contract extension he was offered.“Quin Snyder is one of the best coaches in the NBA,” Zanik said. “There is no other partner I would rather have as a coach and as a leader of our players and as a partner in our front office than Quin Snyder.”
“It wasn’t enough this year,” he added. “So our job is to go out there and make it be enough over a period of time.” The GM pushed back the suggestion that anything regarding the players’ interpersonal dynamics is amiss. Zanik outright bristled at a question about balancing Mitchell’s growing influence within the franchise vs. maintaining “organizational control,” asserting that ”every player that’s here and part of the Utah Jazz has influence over us.
Still, there is truth to the idea that the team’s fate hinges on more than the respective exploits of its two centerpieces.
