Ya know I watched some of the Mavs/ Celtics tonight and I don’t watch the NBA and I realized exactly why.
These guys dribble down to standing set positions with barely any screens or play development, little movement until someone makes a one on one move, converts or misses then maybe a kick out for a 3. Yawn.
The crowd chants defense almost robotically.
This is what Danny yearns for?
I am not a big NBA fan so to me it sounds as if a well programmed AI may be able to “couch” the elitist gebonees who swim in the NBA pool. I do occasionally follow the NETS only because they play in Brooklyn. I have had a spot in my heart for anything Brooklyn since an American friend took a 6 year old me to see the Dodgers a few years after we came to America as immigrants( legal of course). For me becoming American was the Dodgers not the Yankees.

I hope I am wrong, but I think he going to the Lakers.

Sucks, for the team specifically those who stayed and didn't go into the portal, but at the end of the day gotta do what you feel is best for you.

Nothing, but love for DH this will sting for an awhile, but the team always bounces back even in the most uncertain situations.
Great first post

This is what I have been thinking, too. Can you imagine being Tarris Reed Jr., Aidan Mahaney, Liam McNeeley, Ahmad Nowell, and Isaiah Abraham, Solo Ball, Jaylin Stewart, and Alex Karaban and going through this uncertainty after being sold on the idea of coming/returning to UConn to win championships? This is assuming the players don't know and have not been told yet.

I can. They probably have watched basketball before in their lives so they know that sometimes coaches get hired to new jobs.

Not going to lie....not loving the thought of this team coached by Kimani with Danny & Luke in LA
Oh don’t worry Kimani definitely won’t be coaching this team. I’d wager by the start of the season it’ll be a significantly different team.

I hope it’s not wishful thinking but despite the $100M (wow!) I think he stays. He likely feels loyal to his players that stayed or came to play for him. He may also feel loyal to UConn who gave him the platform to excel. He’s also a religious guy whose father may have instilled in him the loyalty gene, as he was to St Anthony’s.
In a few years, if he wants to go to the NBA, his agent may be able to solicit an offer from the Knicks, and he can be the king of NYC while staying close to his family and the place that defined him—Jersey City!

Without sharing all the details, I just read on Storrs Central the latest is that things are "tense" on campus right now and that Hurley has not told anyone his decision. Don't like that things are "tense".
Much like the its "tense" on the Boneyard.

I felt decent yesterday. Today I don't. Really hope I am wrong for obvious reasons but also I need my life back. Checking Storrs Central, Boneyard, Twitter every few minutes is getting old and my 53 year old eyes are killing me. He leaves and that continues with the fallout.

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.
C'mon, in ALL of those situations the father was the coach - so in control, no outside meddling possible. LeBron isn't the coach.
But LeBron will try to coach his son, definitely have a say, opinion & large influence because LeBron has MORE POWER than the coach.

In all the Hurley interactions the Father coaches the son, no 3rd party involvement.

Hoping Hurley announces he’s coming back to UConn with drain underwear in the background
