I really hope that Messina is a part of the deal. I'll reserve judgement on Snyder (for now) but I'd spend whatever reasonable amount it takes to lure Ettore to Utah. I think that the combination of Snyder/Messina could be amazing for the development of our very, very young roster. If this is how to maximize the talent that the Jazz have, then I'm going to be very happy with this hire.I'd love to be able to talk to Dennis about this, and hear his honest opinion in the matter.
The only thing I can imagine is that Quin really sold the Jazz on how loyal he would be to this franchise, how loyal he would be to the front office, and that he had a really great chance at bringing over Ettore Messina for a couple years as an assistant.
Maybe Messina doesn't bring that flexibility, as he wants to be given the freedom that he as a decorated coach deserves. Who knows.
