Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Linart]

I agree. The numbers offered by the Lakers were never made public. If this is the offer along with Hurley having to teach Bronny how to play in the NBA then there is no way Hurley is leaving.

Can you imagine DH pushing LeBron onto the court?

I am absolutely rotting right now

Can you imagine DH pushing LeBron onto the court?

Or coaching Bronny? You think little league dads are heavy handed..

If the NBA circles knew, this would have leaked. It's LA. Someone will have tried to scoop Woj

Woj is working here for the Hurley’s not the Lakers. They control the narrative.

There will be better opportunities for Hurley in 2 to 3 years for a NBA job. More money and a team better suited to win than the Lakers.

1000%. ESPN is salivating to break this story

That’s the most impressive aspect of this drama (with the exception of BY stamina on this thread), the complete and utter radio silence on what his decision will be. With so many people anxious to be the one who breaks the story, clearly DH is holding on tightly to be the one who announces it first.

This is all so dumb lol.

I actually think Hurley having to draft Bronny is not a turn-off. He of all people, best understands LeBron's desire to play with his son.

Hurley got to be coached by his father.

Hurley got to be teammates with his brother.

Hurley got to coach his son.

If Hurley turns down the Lakers...drafting and coaching Bronny will NOT be one of the reasons why.

I was hoping we'd hear something by now. I figured if Hurley was staying we'd hear sooner, and if he was leaving he would probably tell the team first.

It also occurs to me that it's 7:06 in LA, maybe Hurley is waiting until he can inform the Lakers first and it's still too early out there.

I'm thinking way too much about this.

That’s been my biggest concern since yesterday. There are plenty of reasons for why he would wait until Monday, but the most likely reason by far is that he wants to tell the team in person first. And that is probably not a good result for UConn.

This is the barometer. If AntG doesn’t feel good about this, then neither do I

 

[giddyup]

The more time passes the less likely he stays because he is willing to entertain and negotiate. Thus, there is a set of terms where he would say yes. Disappointing, but reality. Still hoping otherwise, but not good for the good guys.

^^^ this is by far the best answer.

yeah it’s pretty crazy. If he is taking the LA job clearly the lakers don’t know it yet. I expect itd leak from that org in about 4 seconds

The timing of leaving now would hurt so many -- players, fans, and the UConn basketball program. If he wants to coach in the NBA, that's his right, but the offer he's getting from the Lakers won't be the last, nor probably the best. To leave right now would be wrong in so many ways. Do it right, do it with class, and do it a way that leaves the program in order and your legacy as that of a hero.

From a personal standpoint, I wish he would have never spoken about the NBA.

I’m on the @dogpause boat here. Agree with almost all of this although if he visited the Lakers from a selfish standpoint (get some NBA interview experience and leverage on UConn) then I don’t blame him. Otherwise this whole ordeal doesn’t work well for me because of the kids mostly. Imagine their thoughts all weekend, they bought in and moved their lives for him. Hey I know it’s not the first time but please don’t be strumming the UConn lore to us and then leave in June after only 6 years. Two trophies aside, it’s a stopover if you go west.

Hope like hell he stays, don’t like the way it’s playing out though.

 

[krinklecut]

They could also be putting together a new contract for kimani. I do believe dan would never leave the program in shambles

If he leaves now it will be in shambles for at least a year or two lol

 

[temery]

Don't expect a response from Dove until he jerks something.

ESPN said Lakers anxiously awaiting decision

I swear it actually feels like Dan is just going to flip a coin before practice

True, but it cuts both ways.

Somebody is getting bad news; Hurley will likely inform them first.

If it's the team he could meet with them this morning and we could hear at any moment.

If it's the Lakers he probably needs to give them time to wake up and get to the office, we aren't likely to hear before 11:00.

LeBron on one side, Bronny on the other. Lands on Bronny and he stays at UConn.

Eh. He can email the Lakers his decision and they’d know immediately. He really doesn’t owe them anything else.

If Danny leaves its about the money. If he stays its about the culture.
