Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[FearThePups]

The general theory is the longer it takes, the better it is for UConn. Indecision on whether to stay or go usually favors staying. Usually.

Ok, I’ve read all 133 pages of the clutching pearls and wringing hands posts. I agree with Chin on the longer it takes, the better for us. I think he stays with the caveat that if the Knicks, Nets, Philly or Celtics job open up, he leaves and that Luke Murray will take over. We need this type of succession plan in place in his contract. That could be a year from now or a couple. UConn would get $7m to $8m if Hurley went to the NBA from the aforementioned teams cited. I can’t see Danny taking the LA job as he was at the Billy Joel concert at MSG last night having a good time with the wife and Murray. I don’t think he’d do that if he was leaving. I read the Andrea and Bob Sr don’t want him leaving here. Danny’s a loyal guy and I don’t think it would sit right leaving his kids. However, the longer this goes on, and I do understand he has to be comfortable with his decision, we have a Meleek Thomas visited planned for the 19th and Brandon Mullen visit on July 24th. Those players make think twice about committing to us if Danny comes back for this season only. Amazing we are now at a point where 5 stars are seeking us out, that’s gotta help our recruiting when your program is a destination school.

Lakers Reddit thinks we get a woj bomb before game 2 tipoff

the lakers want to distract from the finals, so this would make sense. Unfortunately for them I don't think that woj bomb is going to be in their favor...

Ya, take him, sounds good.

 

[BrysonDeMan]

I would think this is good news.

what are the chances he has pre-practice team meeting, telling them he is leaving for LA and he and Murray just walk out the door?

Less than a day for other options to start surfacing…got to like that

 

[djct1999]

The NBA is finalizing a very lucrative tv deal that will mean crazy money will become insane money to NBA teams. Salaries will go up sizeably, not down. And they’re likely going to have an expansion team in Vegas plus probably another franchise down the line, meaning more jobs. If you turn down the prom Queen in favor of your steady girl to be loyal, you become more desirable, not less.

Exactly. Danny will be offered a more lucrative deal each year until he finally says yes.

Lakers turn to hold Dan’s feet to the fire? Good lord make these sick and twisted thoughts go away

You just turned my world around. I told my wife i was just "cleaning" the oven

Most likely is he’s a legit option and the lakers are floating it out there. Could be damage control from them, could be them trying to force Dan into making up his mind in their favor, could be nothing at all

 

[husky8273]

perhaps the new UConn offer will increase the buyout for the NBA except for a few limited teams

 

[temery]

I highly doubt he's left the players in the dark. He likely sent an email (or something) telling them who he's meeting with, timeline, etc.

All joking aside, Jay Wright would make a fantastic NBA coach, in LA or elsewhere. That said, if you ever need further confirmation that UConn is comfortably in blue blood status- our head coach turned down a bag of money from Kentucky and when the Lakers called he said “I dunno, let me think about it for awhile.” No matter what happens, take some pride in that.

Possibly another name to keep the pressure on Reddick to accept their lowball offer to him.

 

[AllHusky]

Unfortunately this is big business now. I think the kids understand that now more then ever

Yeah, 18 is still 18
Many of us had to grow up in a hurry when a parent was incapacitated, so I guess this isn’t the worse thing since you are getting paid. However, both team dynamics and individual development are fragile, this can really screw a kids career up.

“See really want a coach who’s a proven winner…now accept our team friendly contract ”

My buddy saw Luke and Jon Rothstein eating breakfast in Manhattan this morning….he didn’t overhear any Info though

Barney Greengrass for a lox omelette, if it was Rothstein’s choice.
