Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[Dogdeacon]

I'd imagine he's waiting to make an announcement until a contract is signed and he plans on telling his players first. I don't think that's crazy either way

Slight disagreement, you are likely talking about a signed term sheet not a full contract. The final contract would take a minimum of 1-2 business days and more likely it takes a full week+.
So first there is a handshake deal on years, $ inclusive of a few other key items, then a term sheet with all the major points that'll go into contract - I do think you are right and that term sheet would be signed/agreed before telling anyone.

Right now they are likely comparing the UConn term sheet vs Laker term sheet and evaluating each situation. I keep coming back to from a basketball perspective I'd rather coach the UConn players next season; the UConn odds of championship contention are better and the pure basketball situation + player development opportunities for the coach is appreciably better at the University of Connecticut. That's why the Lakers has to be much more $, it is harder and worse (less control, more limitations). If Hurley picks the Lakers and then the Lakers pick Bronny Jr, Hurley intentionally descends into the meddling parent hell that he espouses against.

Plus the guy that said he has friends in NBA circles that texted him this morning that doesn't look good for UConn. Ugh

If the NBA circles knew, this would have leaked. It's LA. Someone will have tried to scoop Woj

They could also be putting together a new contract for kimani. I do believe dan would never leave the program in shambles

A triple IPA would seem to be appropriate. Or, if that's too arrogant, a delicious double IPA

If we were to get the three peat "arrogant and spoiled" would be an excellent name for a triple IPA.

He also just followed up saying there are moving trucks outside of Luke's house. And his name is dnutz. AKA deez nuts. He's a troll

Are the Lakers a poverty franchise?

I agree. The numbers offered by the Lakers were never made public. If this is the offer along with Hurley having to teach Bronny how to play in the NBA then there is no way Hurley is leaving.

I was just watching a talk show and the hosts were saying what did you do this weekend.

Imagine asking any of that the same question.

Answer:

Obsess on whether or not the men’s basketball coach at my Alma Mater/ favorite college basketball team make a decision on whether or not he would be returning to coach our team next year. So I did very little other than scan social media for any hint of what his decision might be and got much less sleep than I usually do on the weekends.

Response by co-hosts:

Mouths slightly open not being able to say anything but clearly thinking if they needed to do a mental health intervention.

I love being a UConn non-casual Mens BB fan…….

No way a few ct movers, moving Luke Murray aren't leaking. They'd leak hard

I see that now... let me see if I can edit my original post not to send people in the a panic

@Hurleyman216
We need your friend to text you again. Text them and ask if they want to hang tonite?

I’d think and hope that UConn entering a P4 conference would automatically trigger a clause in the contract stepping up his salary and/or generating handsome annual bonuses.

Danny will have enough juice to get the B1G tournament booked in MSG if he wants

 

[BlueHen]

I was hoping we'd hear something by now. I figured if Hurley was staying we'd hear sooner, and if he was leaving he would probably tell the team first.

It also occurs to me that it's 7:06 in LA, maybe Hurley is waiting until he can inform the Lakers first and it's still too early out there.

I'm thinking way too much about this.

1000%. ESPN is salivating to break this story

Can you imagine DH pushing LeBron onto the court?

 

[MrSec224]

I am absolutely rotting right now

 

[Jaydumo20]

Can you imagine DH pushing LeBron onto the court?

Or coaching Bronny? You think little league dads are heavy handed..

Woj is working here for the Hurley’s not the Lakers. They control the narrative.

There will be better opportunities for Hurley in 2 to 3 years for a NBA job. More money and a team better suited to win than the Lakers.

That’s the most impressive aspect of this drama (with the exception of BY stamina on this thread), the complete and utter radio silence on what his decision will be. With so many people anxious to be the one who breaks the story, clearly DH is holding on tightly to be the one who announces it first.

 

[UofCT]

This is all so dumb lol.

 

[GampelGladiator]

I actually think Hurley having to draft Bronny is not a turn-off. He of all people, best understands LeBron's desire to play with his son.

Hurley got to be coached by his father.

Hurley got to be teammates with his brother.

Hurley got to coach his son.

If Hurley turns down the Lakers...drafting and coaching Bronny will NOT be one of the reasons why.

That’s been my biggest concern since yesterday. There are plenty of reasons for why he would wait until Monday, but the most likely reason by far is that he wants to tell the team in person first. And that is probably not a good result for UConn.

This is the barometer. If AntG doesn’t feel good about this, then neither do I
