Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[djct1999]

Lakers will offer 7 years 140 easily

So in ca and la county, that’s a net of like 65. UConn can match that.

I am used to getting no work done while refreshing for recruiting updates, which have at least been a positive experience lately. This is going to be the bad refresh.

 

[EBonz30]

If I am Hurley- I would not leave until the year I didn’t win a title- Hurley has a chance to win 3 in a row & possibly even more & become the best coach in all of sports & possibly the best coach to ever live if this streak continues. To leave when you have an opportunity to accomplish things that have never happened before is a hard decision- but also understand the decision becomes easier when there is an extra 50-100M at stake.

UConn title odds have not been taken down or changed in the betting markets for what it’s worth. They are still co-favorites with Kansas at 10:1. That’s a good sign IMO

 

[bfs3]

misguided or not I’ll have enough anger to share with every party in this situation.

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

His new contract should’ve been inked a month ago and this is the result. What’s taking so long?

 

[UCTitleTown]

I wonder if this is why recruit canceled 6/24 visit? Geno contract announcement? Hmmm.... I guess Redick wasn't LeBron's man after all.

I think DH should wait for Knicks or Celtics job. Kimani should get the UConn job if Hurley doesn't poach the staff.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Not unlike the LIV golf offers, at some point the $ gets to be too much to walk away from

Again, how much more are they going to offer him over UK? If the UK rumors are true, LA would have to make him an immediate top 5 paid coach in the league. That is just insane

 

[UConnJim]

NBA coaches don't earn that much. Why are you just making things up? Just a few do... Pop, Spo, Monty. Everyone else is below 10 mill. I could see Hurley getting 13 mill easily which would still make him a top-10 paid coach in the league.

UConn can't match that. The decision will be about NBA coaching longevity, culture, and the high likelihold of flaming out in a few years like every other college coach that goes to the league. Or stay where you're comfortable for 10 years and 8ish million a year.

If Hurley leaves UConn, he is going to paid amongst the top NBA coaches.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

I tend to agree but I wouldn’t fault him for one bit wanting to take a shot.

 

[husky429]

Tom Moore gets his chance?

He got it and failed at QU.

 

[BigTenFan]

If he does leave- Uconn has one of the top assistant coaches in Luke Murray.

 

[EBonz30]

If Hurley leaves UConn, he is going to paid amongst the top NBA coaches.

He will be the top paid coach I would imagine- not amongst.

 

[Yanksrock615]

To all the people who want to stay in the Big East and say conference does not matter ESPN is talking about how UConn is in a weaker conference who don’t have power 5 revenue…

 

[husky429]

If Hurley leaves UConn, he is going to paid amongst the top NBA coaches.

Yeah? And that's not what you said. You didn't bother to do 4 seconds of research and claimed NBA coaches make 15-16 million. They don't. A FEW do.

 

[RedStickHusky]

I know what most people would do. I'm clinging to the belief that Dan is batsh*t crazy.

 

[husky429]

If he does leave- Uconn has one of the top assistant coaches in Luke Murray.

Who has never run a program. He or Kimani would not he a hire I'm thrilled with.

 

[nycscooby]

I think we have to assume he is gone with Luke and Kimani. Lakers will make him one of the highest paid if not the highest paid coach in the league. He will have complete autonomy on personnel.

Will he be able to coach the nba player? That is a legitimate question but I don’t think that will stop Dan from making this move.

And, the 30-day transfer window will likely see significant departures.

Can we keep Tom as an interim coach to continue Dan’s system and keep some of our new additions? That would buy us time to conduct a proper search.

 

[Lefty2one]

If he does leave- Uconn has one of the top assistant coaches in Luke Murray.

Who could follow Hurley to the Lakers.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

not like this. Hurley the lakers only REAL target, and want him to dictate the direction of the franchise and install his system and culture.

The Ollie situation was a lot like this, and Ollie chose poorly.

People's characterization of college vs. the NBA is wildly off now that we are in the NIL/Transfer Portal era. Every top college coach is trying to re-recruit his roster while recruiting replacements while raising money to recruit while also running a program. It is absolutely brutal on college coaches. The days of a coach like Boeheim making Final Fours while working 9 to 5 are long over.

The NBA has players under contract and the coach has most of their careers in his hands because all he has to do is tweak the office a little and someone's stats go down and they lose millions. Los Angeles can compete with any franchise in the NBA for talent. The pressure to win is big, but it sounds like Hurley will make enough off this contract that his kids will never have to work.

Hopefully this isn’t the dream nba job

Celtics or knicks , andrea not living in LA. Negotiations 101. He is not going anywhere

 

[Lefty2one]

He will have complete autonomy on personnel.

This won't be the case as long as LeBron is on the roster.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Kimani please to keep everyone together.

I think Kimani would be in line before Luke, no? As long as UConn retains them and Moore, I think UConn will be fine.
