Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[brihman]

Obviously the Knicks are the move. Have you seen the video of the fan wiping his butt with a cheesesteak.

 

[TheHorde]

Huh????? I can't think of a post more of-base than this.
.
The Horror that he might stay and keep help molding kids and keep winning a ton -- it' so awful to even digest.

He loves the attention so much that he shut down the Kentucky job very quickly and didn’t meet with them.

 

[HooperScooper]

This isn't true anymore

That's good to know. I wonder how much of that includes winning a national championship?



Well 3rd best is pretty good. Can't imagine Hurley would be insulted with that.

 

[AllHusky]

I think the kids are fed up with this Scheisse and are not really thrilled with their Coach even if he stays…. I’d think Cam Spencer might say, “Yeah , stfu and coach!”

Get a grip. He’d be turning down the Los Angeles Lakers to coach them.

 

[Ricker]

I can't help but wonder what Hurley's agent is thinking. His % of the LA package has to be way more than UConn, but he is with Geno too who has reupped.

Well here's what the "old guy" (85) thinks. He is a incredibly gifted coach, and is being pulled, not so much by the money, but rather the challenge. The expectation is, if he returns the Huskies will 3 peat. Huge amount of pressure, which I don't think bothers him, but if he fails to deliver that, fan base will be most disappointed. He is on the seesaw, which is balanced by 2 choices, Huskies or NBA. One can only imagine going through that kind of decision making outcome. Place your bets....Which side of the seesaw will be up in the air tomorrow. My belief is, with a heavy heart, that he will depart......SO WANT TO BE WRONG.....and as the late great Jim Valvano said "NEVER GIVE UP"! Go Huskies

These kids want to win an NCAA Championship, could care less about LA until the Lakers draft them.

never thought I'd see self-fisting and the ol' grinder buttwipe in the same thread

 

[Agent0]

Does it say what time the meeting is at? Morning or afternoon

It’s probably the most prestigious job in the sport. That’s the point. You don’t have to be a fan of them to know turning that down to stay home is a huge deal.

Insane I have to even explain this

Rick Pitino believes Hurley will stay per Sports Illustrated. No inside info, just his belief.

Lakers News: Elite NCAA Rival Convinced Dan Hurley Won't Take LA HC Job

The Los Angeles Lakers could shock the NBA world soon as they are set to hear the word of UConn head coach Dan Hurley on whether he'll stay with the Huskies or

Rick truly knows nothing about it. Less than Fanta if you could imagine

he(trilly) doesn't know

 

[TheHorde]

At least the kids can reopen their recruitment and go elsewhere if Hurley decides to advance his career at the pro level. In the past they might have been stuck. I am sure all the players are currently being contacted by other schools.

They could but man they just moved in here in recent weeks and planned for the next chapter of their lives to be here. I get life has twists and turns. It’s not great for the existing players to go through either, but at least they’ve experienced the highs of the sport together.

It’s not the most prestigious job in the sport. If it was they would have Spo or Kerr by now. The Lakers job is actually terrible when you consider the current roster construction, and future draft capital

No sleep in Connecticut tonight, unless booze induced.

Not exactly. He let that go on longer than this.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

it certainly would sound like he is gone with the meeting but on the other hand, I think it would have been leaked on the LA side of things

I don’t get this. He very well might bounce but the fact that they had a meeting doesn’t mean anything. Was he going to leave before meeting with the team that’s recruiting him?

 

[UConnSwag11]

If the Lakers felt good, they'd be leaking.

This guy on his space said the Lakers have made it their main priority to keep things locked and sealed after a debacle a couple years ago

 

[bdbdbdbd]

he(trilly) doesn't know

Post above says 8:30 a.m. If he doesn't know that, maybe the report of a meeting is just speculation too and we can relax a bit.

 

[JonnyRI]

As bad as the last 72 hours have been, god forbid he leaves, the agony of watching us trying to salvage our roster for the rest of June will be beyond brutal.

I will serially dread even thinking about looking on the BY for fear of what the next post is called.

I think he means the team meeting, not meeting with LA.

How do you think they’ve been feeling for the last few days? It’s their time. This dalliance has infringed on it.

I’m sure you know prestigious doesn’t mean “best”. The iconic Los Angeles Lakers offered him 100 million dollars. And he’d be saying no to that. Any kid not amped and inspired by that probably wouldn’t have been recruited by this staff in the first place.

I mean, he could be right but what debacle is he talking about? Plus, it’s not like Hurley would be poached elsewhere or JJ Redick would sign with another team lol
