Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Bonk]

Are we 100% sure Hurley is the guy, though?

 

[TedStriker]

These kids are going to play so gd hard for Hurley. I would take a bullet for him and I don’t even know the guy.

Might as well save this thread for next year.

Ya gotta love how a $70 million offer got rounded up to $100 million, then Fanta’s of the world saying it’s over $100 million lol.

Fanta acted like a total amateur since the news broke on Thursday and for a guy who has always acted like he's all about the Big East he was giddy pushing Hurley out the door to LA. I like the guy but sheesh this was a bad look.

He deserved to be paid. He earned it. The results he is delivering more than pay for his contract.

Agreed. I've only been a fan for 30 years, and I respect the man and the program turnaround accomplished so far. Spent a few minutes with him last year, he was cool. As a guy just finishing up student loans for the kids, for what the outstanding UCONN is really for, this hype and adulation was way overdone. Every one of my posts said he was staying. Never thought for a minute he'd leave, especially for fantasyland LA. My reservedness is only at the current state of sports, where everything is a dollar. UCONN is a fantastic resource, and we have (rightfully) rolled out the red carpet for Dan and his family. All I'm saying is, if that's not enough, I don't know what else to tell you.

After DH gets a new UConn contract. It seems once the pot is off the fire, nothing happens. Raise ticket prices whatever. Just get it done.

I have never liked Fanta. He doesn't seem like a bad guy but I don't like him as a media personality.

Seriously, who didn't see this coming

Thank you Andrea for keeping him grounded

And thank you Bob Sr, for instilling loyalty

We have our boy

I mean why can’t coaches get nil deals?

They can, endorsements.

 

[milards]

Stewie’s dad know something? I think so.

 

[Rich]

So The Athetic reports the L.A. offer was six years @ 70MM. And with that 13.3% top marginal Cali tax rate…..sheesh. They basically offered him peanuts to run the circus.

That’s a FAR cry from nine figures, and arguably just not worth leaving purely on the financial bird-in-the hand he has presently, without any renegotiation.

This decision was easy.

 

[auror]

and all UConn Men’s Basketball got out of it was a couple of lousy championships!

the specifics of the deal are really good for the program as a whole

Is the new deal done-done?

Ok back to work all you non retired schmoes

 

[UCfor3]

We were wrong!!!! Thank Christ

Lol Ecstatic over here.

 

[Stew Crew]

Is the new deal done-done?

Cowherd says he has an offer but discussions are continuing.

 

[Fishy]

Is the new deal done-done?

No, but close enough for government work.

And that was a really weak ass offer by the Lakers.
