Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[NJHusky]

As beloved as Hurley is in these parts now, imagine if you will how beloved he’d be if he ends up staying here for less money and turns the Lakers down.

you mean like he asks his recruits to do?

I’ve spent time in CA. For vacation and work.

I lived in San Diego for 7 years. That’s some time. You haven’t spent any time there and it’s obvious lmao

There was a Calhoun quote where he referred to "silly money." What was the reference to? Like, what it would take to take a pro job?

i cant remeber the last time i watched around the horn, was probably highschool. but i will have espn on all weekend incase there's breaking news. Isola and Torre both just said they think he stays in CT. take that for what it's worth.

tony kornheiser doesnt think he'll take the job either. i'm ashamed for even posting this. dark times.

Well according to Goodman he left LA without signing a contract with them so that’s at least some good news for us, right?

Goodman said the plan is for him to leave without signing, but the meeting hasn’t happened yet apparently

Fanta comes across as an earnest guy but he's getting really exposed here. He's just swinging all over the map for engagement.

What is this "Google" of which you speak?

This. Fanta lost me with his Cooley boot licking and his coverage of this confirms to me that it is all about clicks.

I'm among the few Yarders who just can't get into Fanta. His post-championship on-court was brilliant coverage, tho.

you mean like he asks his recruits to do?

In the short run yes. The wise ones that listen will make more in the long run. As Jim Calhoun always said, the real money is in that second NBA contract.

Good news UConn gets last meeting?

Uh, where do you see that even hinted at in the tweet you linked to?

If agents are leaking to Fanta in the middle of talks huge dollar amounts and being 75% done, gotta think that’s a good sign that this is at least partially for leverage with UConn.

His agent wasn't happy how he wrote off Kentucky so quickly...now he has bigger leverage...let's see if the State of Connecticut steps up....it's beyond the AD at this point, IMO

 

[Dove]

So has the Laker meeting already happened or it hasn’t yet?

20 minutes.

This board needs to make up their mind. It's not about the money or he's using the Lakers as leverage and we need to up our offer. I do not think it's about leverage. I do think we need to up our offer however. It's not all about the money, but it's always kinda about the money. They don't have to match but they have to do better and dig deep. He needs to be in Self range and at least jump over Calipari. He has earned it. So have the assistants.

Where did you see this?

 

[August_West]

Has anyone done any work since March ?

Fixed it.

Just an aside GOAT said that Dan should speak with the Lakers. That’s it, speak. Calhoun would not offer bad advice to Hurley.

 

[BrysonDeMan]

No… he needs to meet him on the damn tarmac with the contract and a pen.

as much as i despise PC, i think that crazy group would have already organized a please stay gathering at the airport/along the roads for Hurley if they were in the same situation.

come on, let's not get bogged down with accuracy here

This but he needs to leave the number blank so Dan can fill it in.

If that’s true it’s not the worst thing. We should offer 10 yrs ~90 mil with huge incentives.

We know it's crazy money and probably all guaranteed. If it is about money we never stood a chance. If it is about money it would be signed, sealed and delivered right about now.
