Quin Snyder resigning as the big boss in Utah sparked a tsunami of takes in Knicksville that had been frothing for sweet release since the first Salt Lake City smoke suggested Snyder may not return — i.e., that Donovan Mitchell would now push his way to New York. And if Mitchell’s were to name his price, and that price was the head of Tom Thibodeau and a newly named Johnnie Bryant as New York’s head coach? Many fans would be fine with such an arrangement.
Instead it looks like a Mitchell & Bryant battery is more likely to happen in the state that just banned half the hard seltzer on its grocery shelves.
