Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[JonnyRI]

I am like 85/15 now he is back.

If he told the Lakers he was going there it would have immediately leaked.

Not so on the UConn side based on how tight lipped they run things.

We got this. Stairway to 7!

This us pretty spot on man. You're such an even keeled dude. No wonder why animals flock to you like st Francis.

If only I possessed the same ability with the humans. Would totally be a cult-leader. Heard it's the most lucrative part of the cult experience.

Are the Lakers a poverty franchise?

The lakers have never really paid their coaches that well. Pretty sure the Buss family is one of the least wealthy owners in the NBA.

 

[Fan1978]

There's been a decent amount of people questioning his character for "dragging out" the process and calling him an attention seeker

He spent a few days. Any less would be disrespectful to the Lakers.

 

[Hurleyman216]

My source with the team just texted and said “Let’s go get #3”. I guess we’ll find out if he’s correct soon enough

JJ is the perfect 2 year stop, take him LeBron and AD would love him, Hurley would blow AD knees out first week of practice

 

[ThetaZoo]

That's all I got.

Off to toil today.

I think we rejoice today.

I don't mean to be a pr*ck but a haiku is 5, 7 and 5 syllables.

Danny is psycho enough to run practice today first before quitting

Technically the lakers are paying over 100 million for their coach(es). This just includes the last 3 they fired with guaranteed contracts still in place? It seems like yesterday CT was out of $ and could never afford another coach after having to pay off Ollie's settlement. Amazing how we managed to recover.

I read somewhere that a lot of his salary would be paid for with private money.

Dunno which it will be but that is a hell of a pitch if it is option A.

"I'm Dan Hurley of UConn, we just won back to back National Championships and I turned down the LA Lakers to fly down here and offer you a scholarship."

I read somewhere that a lot of his salary would be paid for with private money.

I mean why can’t coaches get nil deals?

 

[Vancat]

There was a brilliant post about 60 pages ago (I’m too lazy to find it) about how this feels like we’re waiting for news about a missing relative, and it’s hard to focus on anything else.

Hope it’s ‘really sorry… I was on a bender’ rather than ‘cadaver dogs find body’

Not sure I believe Trilly on any of this, but FWIW

Which is much more after taxes and cost of living factored in.

Hurley is running this LA offer situation just like he runs his offense. He's toying with everyone. He knows exactly how this will end and He's about to alley oop dunk his official return to Uconn today.

And he's comfortable going late in the shot clock without panicking.

lol I'm picturing this in my head

 

[Fan1978]

I read somewhere that a lot of his salary would be paid for with private money.

Of course, coaches can get nil as well.

not dragged out IMO... told UConn his intentions Wed, team on Thurs, LA Fri/Sat, ponder Sun, announce Monday... time just slowed down for the faithful

Neither was that. This is a haiku.

Not to be a jerk
But that wasn't a haiku
So, then, shut up Dove!

"I'm Dan Hurley of UConn, we just won back to back National Championships and I turned down the LA Lakers to fly down here and offer you a scholarship."

The press he’s gotten out of this is invaluable to his ability to get any kid he wants, and the BOT’s know it.

 

[Kemba Time]

My biggest hope is Hurley announces he’s staying because of roster control issues that arose with the Lakers pressuring him to take Bronny James over proven-winner Cam Spencer with the No. 55 pick in this NBA Draft

 

[hooskies]

My source with the team just texted and said “Let’s go get #3”. I guess we’ll find out if he’s correct soon enough

Hopefully based on great news and not wishful thinking

 

[temery]

I thought he had practice today?

 

[Yanksrock615]

I thought he had practice today?

He can leave after practice idk

 

[FearThePups]

I agree on the money issue, but Hurley has already expressed dissatisfaction with the portal and NIL. It's a grind for him.

Perhaps he lets someone competent manage the NIL dollars and with our surge as a destination school, the staff won’t have to work so hard recruiting either the transfer portal or incoming players.
