Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[HitDog]

3) The four ot loss to Syracuse in the BE tourney? This one could come of the list but it was bad.


Today turned out to be a really **ty day…………..

If you don't actually know how many OTs there were is it really that bad?

 

[LBird33]

Every bit of news that trickles out makes me feel worse.

Guessing contract negotiations with his Agent have been happening and they are not completely on the same page

 

[Hunt for 7]

Can't see him staying. Lakers would have a major black eye if this does not happen. They'll give him an offer he can't refuse.

I agree but it was impossible to give your post a like given the circumstances. For him to stay it’s going to have to be a Mother Theresa type intervention. This is the Lakers and he is a human being with a ego no matter how grounded he may be.

His father turned down increases in pay that on a percentage basis probably would have been higher or similiar and did not. I am hoping that is an inherited gene. You don’t leave what you love for any reason not your ego not for money not for anything.

I would be really concerned about the assistant coaches. Would they all be gone too?

In any case I think it would be a mistake for him to take the job. I don't think what he's built at UConn would necessarily work on the Lakers, at least not without a complete rebuild over 3-4 years. But I'm sure part of it is Hurley would want to prove everyone wrong and do it anyway.

This is not a big deal for Alex. He chose to come back for another year of college. He loves UCONN. He wants to improve his game. He wasn't coming back just for Danny.

He primarily was hes said so in his interviews

Ha!!!! I lived in LA for 12 years: if you're going to Chipotle or Taco Bell as an l.a. resident you might as well save money and move to Iowa.

But He already got all the leverage he needed from the Kentucky overture

This raises the bar higher it is more leverage because the numbers are bigger. But I don’t think it’s that even though it could be.

It’s now more about legacy and ego……not saying that in a bad way. But ego has always been a man’s legacy worst enemy.

 

[Big Loubowski]

If this is excruciating for fans, imagine what it must be like for the players.

 

[bendm]

At least they waited for us to finish recruiting for this season. This is Lebron pushing this btw.

If they want All our players will be released from the letter of intent if Hurley leaves

The number can’t go higher Kentucky was already offering Hurley $15 mill which is more than every nba coach but Kerr. It’s on par with popovich

Honestly, and not trying to come across rude, but what does this have to do with the current situation?

We just got over the Karaban situation and now this. Strange

 

[Hunt for 7]

Like I said it’s been a bad day. But I can assure you I was relegated to the basement that night and did not sleep so yeah it was bad. But I fixed it.

 

[krinklecut]

Who are you trying to convince here ? Karaban came back based on the possibility of making history at UConn next year and because his draft status wasn't good enough to stay in the draft.

Clearly, coming back to play for the reigning coach of the year coming off back to back titles was absolutely part of that calculation. Nobody is claiming Dan Hurley personally begged Alex to come back.

Plus he saw the pieces that were in place to play with him. If Dan Hurley leaves chances are a bunch of them are gone.

 

[ec33]

Turning down Kentucky and the Lakers in a single offseason is going to be legendary.

 

[Jaydumo20]

We just got over the Karaban situation and now this. Strange

I'm a huge softee but if I were DH, all i would need is for Alex to say "good morning, coach" and I'd break down, cry, and then tell J.J. the good news.

 

[GoConn]

I love Hurley. He's awesome and doesn't owe UConn anything at this point.

The one thing that just sucks is the guy put together a roster and got everyone excited about a 3peat to take a job thats been open for a month plus?? seems weird if he was the lakers "top candidate all along" that he would all of sudden now take the job once he recruited guys and everything he takes it in June? what happened? He was throwing up 3 peat signs at UFC on Saturday night.

 

[Bomber36]

Wow. 42 pages in less than 10 hrs. That is impressive.

 

[How Sway?!]

Something to keep in mind regarding Hurley and his contract renewal/negotiations, with the NCAA settlement allowing revenue share, there might be a correction in coaches salaries. Don't think schools will be able to pay the same top dollar for coaches and their staff when 20% of their budget is gone.

That's something the NBA coaches ain't got to worry about, if anything with the new TV deals, their market about heat up

 

[bendm]

I can’t see Hurley doing this to Karaban. Tells him to come back and then would bounce? No way

This is really all we've got to hold on to

 

[HuskyHawk]

Don’t know why everyone thinks thibs is a few years away from being fired? He’s killing it with this group.

He's 66. He's not close to being fired but he is close to hanging it up.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Ha!!!! I lived in LA for 12 years: if you're going to Chipotle or Taco Bell as an l.a. resident you might as well save money and move to Iowa.

AND you may very well be stupid. I was curious so I looked it up: I can get a chile relleno burrito with carne asada from La Azteca in Boyle Heights for a couple bucks less than a steak burrito from the Chipotle near my house.

 

[nomar]

Just wondering why the Lakers aren't aggressively pursuing Jon Scheyer?

 

[dennismenace]

Hurley has made the best of his current roster while putting his framework in place at every stop. LeBron at 40 is better than YouTube recruits. However, The faces he makes on the bench while Bron ‘plays’ D during the regular reason are going to be amazing.

LOL.
