Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[bjc42]

@bjc42 Surely you’ve programmed a bot to like every post on this board, right? If so, why? If not, how?

I legitimately have not. I just have been refreshing this page a ton. I have missed more than half the posts on this thread.

All the Lakers have is the hope that players will just want to play in LA because...reasons. It worked with Lebron. We will see.

And Shaquille O’Neal.

I don't understand why a high buyout would deter him from signing. It's not like he would ever be on the hook for it.

He negotiated a lower nba buyout in his last contract someone said. He wouldn’t have to pay it but it could deter an NBA if they didn’t want to pay it.

I'm confused at what point you're making. You know the buyout is low but you think it would deter an NBA team?

 

[Aaron1995]

Why would they be dead to you? I am a lifelong Knicks fan & if the Knicks were about to hire him- obviously I would have mixed feelings about it- but it would forced me to even watch the Knicks even more with excitement.

Basically my interest in the NBA has dwindled for years. Plus IMO the Lakers have mismanaged so many situations that I’m looking for reasons to shut that chapter in my life. That organization is like staff of Jafar from Aladdin.

I’m saying if he comes back to UConn and signs a new contract to make it much higher. It’s under 2 million right now.

Well someone wants him to stay......

What is the Championship Dinner going to look like now? The celebration dinner is scheduled for June 19th.

 

[Coach J]

I resisted for 36 hours to come here - but Man 86 pages already, how many of people got talked off or onto a cliff?

No idea what the other 85 pages say, but if he goes to LA the University better come at Luke with a contract in hand the second it becomes public.

Dan loves UConn-He loves his team-He loves his Family-He loves his wife.

He has almost doubled his potential salary which includes rewarding his staff/assistants to be at the top of the CBB game.

He's made his agent very happy. He's in LA and listening to them. Benedict has gone to the wall to get him top of class money. Helps Dan and retains his staff. He's intrigued by the three peat and more.

I believe that Dan will not let down his recruits/returners/portal adds and their parents/families. He's a man of character.

Call me crazy. Many of you have. I think Dan stays for now.

If Hurley did leave does that mean any UConn player could then enter the portal or is the team locked up for this year?

It’s pocket change compared to the rumored guarantee. Only $1.8M for NBA vs about $8-9M for college xfer.

99% of college basketball’s teams and fans want him to leave UConn is my guess. BE fans of other teams will try to say different but they’d rather not have to go against him, and we are not beloved for our domination otherwise.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

You don’t need to worry about Alex. He’s a smart guy who makes fully informed decisions.

Husky hoops fan…from Jersey…joined in 2018….seems to have insider info…

I don't believe this. Especially since realignment, the Big East has been extremely intense in game matchups, but supportive of each other in non-conference and tournament situations. A lot of it is that we're the only non-football power in college basketball. It's also true that UConn would not fall apart if Hurley leaves.

 

[Kembacity]

Any idea if those guys are speculating or are they legit plugged in?

Jesus guys, pump the brakes and calm down. He might leave! We’ll find out by Monday (or so it seems), lighten up!!

in the trilly discord, there are xavier fans that are incredibly annoying. also lot's of st johns guys that antagonize uconn guys a lot. not saying that is the best representation, but a lot of Big East guys hate us

Rick Pitino doesn’t believe Dan Hurley is going to leave Connecticut and take a massive potential megabucks offer from the Lakers.

“What I’m hearing — and I have no [inside information] — is that his father [Bob Hurley Sr.] and his wife [Andrea] are very strong in his life and they don’t want to go,” Pitino told The Post from his box in the grandstand at Saratoga Race Course, which is holding a four-day meet which will be highlighted by Saturday’s Belmont Stakes.

I cannot believe I finally caught up to this thread, I read every page. Sometimes I would read one, and then the page count would increase by 2-3.

Danny, stay home.

The cuse board which is obsessed about UConn/couldn't give a S c a l i t o about UConn has a thread devoted to Hurley. It's the rings.

Need to change “A” to “THE” immediately….

This is good, if true! If he gets back home and around the people and places he's comfortable it improves our chances. Also, obviously good news he didn't sign the contract then and there with Buss and Pelinka

Can we at least make it into the power conference this time before we have the rug pulled from underneath
