Atlanta has struggled since bringing in All-Star Dejounte Murray throughout the offseason. Now 29-30, they are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. According to reports, Nate McMillan, the Hawks’ head coach, was fired on Tuesday. If Snyder wants it, it would be a new beginning. After eight seasons with the Jazz, Snyder retired from his post this summer. Despite having an overall record of 372-264, making the playoffs in six of his eight seasons with Utah, and leading the team to its first playoff series victory since 2010 in 2017, he was never able to go past the second round.
