Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[CONN78SEJ]

I agree too. Too much cloak and dagger. Maybe it's a defense mechanism but I feel a gut punch coming.

We were wrong!!!! Thank Christ

Why?

I don't usually agree with Wolken but I agree, the whole manner in which this has played out is strange to me

Nah man. This is how negotiations work. Just because we're impatient, doesn't mean anything was wrong. He heard an offer on FRIDAY, got UConn's over the weekend, took a day to think about it and announced mid-day.

What else would you want?

 

[EBonz30]

I love all you guys & gals- thanks for being there for me over the last 4.5 days!!!!!

What about it has been strange? Dude debunks Kentucky courting too quickly, agent gets mad at the given up leverage, dude appeases his agent. Media and fans are the only ones to blame for this.

Practice baby Practice. Mr Iverson excluded

Thank you all. the boneyard sustained me through the past few days. I also never want to do this again.

 

[UCann]

ESPN all over it. Mcafee now but SC coming up.

 

[BigFanCT]

@zion where’s your next now?

 

[NJHoops]

so you're hinting at DH coming back

I said all I could

Also, people like working for/with others who go all out for them. Get paid, guys!

I don't think so. If the state did not step up he would be in LA right now IMO. I think he wanted to be respected as the top coach he is.

to be clear I fully understand how Dan played it, I'm referring to the Woj/Shams ongoing media battle

Never had a doubt…….just kidding……now we can joke for real. Glad it’s over

Hope it plays out like Fran’s tweet.

Let’s GO!!!!!

Good for UConn. Once the fireworks fade, sobering thoughts.

That he was that close, this early in his career, with so much on offer here is revealing. Cue the Thibodeau watch...

 

[LIuconn]

I'm pleasantly surprised. Now we'll do this every offseason

 

[superjohn]

where have you been?

In a straitjacket

 

[MilliniumPrince]

The word on the street...

The Lakers only shot was to blow him away with an offer, but the Lakers crapped the bed. But even with that offer, it would have been 50/50 at best.

Told you so!
