Snyder, who was originally hired on June 6, 2014, had led the Jazz to six-straight NBA Playoff appearances.

This does not come as a huge surprise as there have been rumors floating around that Quin did not get along well with the Jazz front office.

The main takeaway is that Fischer mentions that the Jazz front office did something last offseason, before Danny Ainge joined that Jazz, that made Snyder mad. Since then there has been a disconnect and that continues today.

What could have happened? It certainly seems like the trade from last offseason with the Warriors could have been it. Remember when multiple rumors circulated about Ingles being traded to the Warriors? It later came out, from Tim MacMahon that Snyder had vetoed a trade from the Warriors. My guess is that would be it.
