Hawks want Quin


I’d probably do it just for the option to pick swap with either the Jazz or Wolves pick this year. At worst, he walks for free and you gave yourself a shot at moving up a couple of spots with one of those picks. I’d love to get them to do it for a swap with the 76ers pick, but that seems unlikely. At best, the Hawks crater and you get another shot at a lottery pick.

Absolutely no one (that I've seen) is talking about Snyder being under contract w/ Utah and Atlanta needing to pay Utah to get him though, so that doesnt really have me hopeful about what the Jazz could potentially get.

Unless Atlanta is waiting until after the season, his contract is a matter to deal with. He's has an option for next year, but I imagine he'd not exercise it in this case.

Oh yeah the Jazz pick... a swap on that. If the Jazz end up having a better record than the Hawks a swap would would have some minor value.
 
Has there ever been a situation where a coach resigns/quits on his own and still gets paid? That's generally not how contracts work. The only situation I have seen it is where someone with a specified contract term is fired.
 
This story is weird… you would think that there would be noise around us getting compensation. It’d be great if one of the local guys could get us an answer on this

That's generally how things work in sports, isn't it? I know in European football, a manager getting fired is usually put on "gardening leave" meaning he still gets paid, but he sits at home for the duration of the contract. The advantage for him is that he gets the full amount and sits on this tuchus doing nothing without having to worry about finding work.

The advantage for the team is that they don't have to be involved in complex buyout negotiations at a time when the team is in turmoil and they have to look for a new manager, as well as ensuring that the sacked manager can't just turn around and get a job with a rival team and possibly hurt your season that way.

Of course, this occasionally leads to crazy scenarios like Italian owners sacking a manager 3 months into his contract, then running through a couple more during the next year, and then making the original guy come back because he's still under contract and you don't have to pay a new guy then.
