Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Rich]

I don't think there's anything to find out. He was offered a job in the NBA which is his dream, and took a weekend to think it over. I mean has no one here ever been offered a job and taken a little time to think about it especially when it involves uprooting your entire life to move 3000 miles away to the other side of the country?

For 70 million dollars? No, dear readers I have not, especially when I already had a contractual commitment in my existing job for ~50MM.

My favorite part of the whole Hurley situation was reading in the Georgetown and Villanova sites from the Trilly Discord how they were going to reach out to UConn players when he left.

Now Georgetown is trying to talk Supreme Cook into returning after showing him the door two months ago.

When is Cooper Flagg calling Hurley?

LOL, I don't mean to disappoint you but I believe CF is already enrolled at Duke and on campus starting summer school classes. I hope Danny is not waiting by the phone.

When this started the report was 100 mil. Now its 70 and its being rederred to as a low ball offer. Its still a pile of cash, but intetesting.

Yea, I surprised the Lakers didn't offer him more money. Something like $90 million for six years (assuming the $70 million number is correct). I mean, what is a another $3 million per year to get the coach you want. The owners are multi billionaires and benchwarmers in the NBA make $3 million per year.

His rep took a hit with a lot of people. You played it better than he did. This was one of those news stories that could make someone look foolish and Fanta played right into it.

Yeah —it did seem like Fanta was getting off on pushing Hurley to LA- especially Thursday and Friday. He seemed real excited about it. From his posts at Billy Joel to some of his podcasts. Weird. Maybe he’s just a really happy guy all the time but he deff annoyed me a bit during this process.

Was he?
Did he?

Not a fan of that term, but in this case the shoe fits

Better, "Lighten up, Francis."

It's amazing that we're in a position to say "weird that he used the clip from his first championship instead of the one we just won."

Narrator: He was not, in fact, humbled by the experience

One of my pet peeves is people using "humbled" when they really mean "honored" in situations like this or getting awards or whatever.

I hope Danny stays for Jared Kotler's sake. That kid is gonna jump off the Arrigoni Bridge if LA wins.

I think my post was well after this news broke. Has anyone heard from Jared Kotler. I keep forgetting his BY handle.

Plaschke: Dan Hurley rejection is another humiliation for Lakers brand that has lost its luster

Hiring a new coach should have been a slam dunk, but it was instead an airball, and the failure shows the depths to which the Lakers' reputation has fallen.

Did he?

Is this your conspiracy theory?

 

[brihman]

This is where I despise the trilly fandom. He said his sources had Hurley leaving a few days ago, then changes it as it gets closer, and then everyone says trilly is never wrong. Guys like that (and all the crystal ball guys) make a living just backtracking statements

Is Fanta really Trilly?

 

[RollSkis]

Is Fanta really Trilly?

Wouldn't be shocked no way Fanta can afford Billy Joel tickets on the peanuts the BE pays him.

what's your point?

That's a shame.

But I’m no super genius. Or are I?

 

[Dove]

Has anyone in this thread mentioned that the NY Post (Braziller) wrote the sides were talking for weeks?

 

[Woodson]

Is this your conspiracy theory?

No. I asked a rhetorical question about ever finding out the real story. This was my smartazz response to someone that answered - in so many words - nope nothing to find out, we already know everything because what gets reported must be true.

I think I read it in this thread over the weekend. More than likely Sunday. But I don’t remember where it came from or if it was just conjecture.

But there seemed to be a few “credible” analysts who were floating that theory.

I never saw that it was verified.

 

[Waquoit]

And that didn't work out either.

But not before your point was rendered moot.

Me, either. Perhaps we'll hear on Thursday.
