Lakers preparing offer for Hurley

[DRBackup]

I'm not an nba guy at all but even if Danny were extremely successful as an nba coach, he could be mentioned with the likes of Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, Pat Reilly. Who cares. Obviously not me but come on. Phil got all of his rings because of Michael Jordan. Or Kobe.

I honestly believe that for Danny, being one of the kids IS the juice.

Ah, good. I see you edited this to add Kobe since Phil has 11 titles, not 6

Most NBA fans I know don't watch college ball so they probably knew very little about dh or the staff. They'll take bad news better than we will

If Danny leaves its about the money. If he stays its about the culture.

Or he’s just fulfilling a lifetime dream

The timing of leaving now would hurt so many -- players, fans, and the UConn basketball program. If he wants to coach in the NBA, that's his right, but the offer he's getting from the Lakers won't be the last, nor probably the best. To leave right now would be wrong in so many ways. Do it right, do it with class, and do it a way that leaves the program in order and your legacy as that of a hero.

From a personal standpoint, I wish he would have never spoken about the NBA.

If he asked for and listened to his father's input, I see no way he leaves for the Lakers.

Hurley is at the point in his career where he doesn't need to move up (LA) to audition for the job he really wants (Nets). Worst case scenario would be taking the Lakers job and tanking.

The Laker's job isn't an opportunity, it's a trap.

I hope I am wrong, but I think he going to the Lakers.

Sucks, for the team specifically those who stayed and didn't go into the portal, but at the end of the day gotta do what you feel is best for you.

Nothing, but love for DH this will sting for a awhile, but the team always bounces back even in the most uncertain situations.

He’s got to be staying. Why would he drag it out if he was heading to the Lakers? I think if he knows his decision privately, that he’s waiting to tell the players before practice, and have the most pumped-up practice in UConn history later today.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

If Danny leaves its about the money. If he stays its about the culture.

Doubt this. If the Lakers/UConn proposed contract amounts that have been reported so far are anywhere close to being correct, there is really not a huge difference at all in what he'd get with them vs. staying at UConn

Don't expect a response from Dove until he jerks something.

It was only a matter of time before the whole world knew what Boneyarders have known for 25 years.....

Shut up, Dove!

 

[BlueHen]

Eh. He can email the Lakers his decision and they’d know immediately. He really doesn’t owe them anything else.

I think Hurley would be way more professional, and courteous, than that.

ESPN said Lakers anxiously awaiting decision

Gee. You think????

 

[JCisthegoat]

Personally I think if he was leaving the people he met from LA already know.

It kinda feels like a nfl player when they go on a visit to a team “don’t let him leave the building”

 

[DRBackup]

Really? He's arguably the greatest player to ever live and any team that has him on it is a contender.

The word you're looking for is "WAS". And he was never the greatest

ESPN said Lakers anxiously awaiting decision

If that report is true, and their ownership truly didn’t get an answer yet, I think he’s staying home

 

[UCTitleTown]

Or he’s just fulfilling a lifetime dream

Was he a fan of an NBA team? For many our age, the Lakers were the enemy.

 

[husky8273]

does #4000 win anything?

 

[DRBackup]

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

Think about it in real terms. So they were wined and dined in LA for one day and an assistant, who is downstream of the guy making the decision ALSO had time to go find a place and get everything in place to move so the movers could come the next day ? Stop

 

[UConnSwag11]

Hoping he’s trolling

Life should always be about doing what's best for you. I think it says that in the Bible somewhere.

 

[Jaydumo20]

If he goes ill watch less nba than I do now. What's less than zero, btw?

 

[ivrytontusker]

How would anyone know? What basis is there for a hunch? I'm surprised nothing has leaked yet, either. Just make sure that if he leaves, it isn't about money/resources/etc. Which it sounds like it won't be.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Will his decision get announced before noon ET today?

 

[huskidork]

that CBS thing did NOT make me feel good, he has already decided?? why not announce it

 

[Jimdish255]

I see Dan walking out before practice, taking a long look at the team, silence. Then "what are you guys standing around for we've got work to do? "
