WOJ: Lakers are preparing a massive long term contract offer to UConn Dan Hurley [UPDATE] He Rejected a 6 Yr $70 Million Offer, will go back to school

[jaydawg08]

Then he definitely not going to LA

They’d have to offer him something like 15-17 mil a year

I keep hearing/reading conflicting reports about him just staying at UCONN

Bron wants JJ and Bronny

Rob wants Hurley

Who wins?

lol this is the type of stuff that he’s gotta change ASAP. Can you imagine him yelling “fill in my huddle!!” at Bron or AD or Reaves

he would put hands and feet on DLo if he seen him off to the side eating scooby snacks like he did last season

No way I would take the job if I was in his place. Stay at UCON. Have less stress and deal with more cooperative players.

Contract ploy, he wouldn't have convinced his best and most experienced returning player to withdraw from the draft last week if he was just gonna turn around and take an NBA job

This is a real possibility, especially the way it's being headlined. If I were a great college coach, I would definitely secure that long-term deal in a program where I've been comfortable and successful rather than fukk up by moving all the way across the country for something that more often than not doesn't work out.

Word to Chip Kelly.

It's like I've mentioned before that the Lakers are hiring with the future in mind because they know eventually Bron will be out the door so satisfying him is not the priority, which I doubt matters to Bron at this point anyway.

Hiring JJ would've been like hiring Luke Walton (remember him) all over again and Rob and Jeanie learned from that mistake.

Not sure if this is going to work with LeBron. He doesn’t like White men in positions of power around him coaching wise. Just check his track record.

Really he can’t be coached. What is Hurley going to do with LeBron when he blows off his huddle? Blows off his playcalls? Checks himself into the games and subs out who he wants at will? None of that is going to change with Bron going into year 22.

I remember David Blatt being just as renowned as Hurley is 10 years ago and Bron came in an showed total disregard for him…wouldn’t run his plays…would sub out players that Blatt himself put out there and even got physical shoving him around and shyt.

Treated Blatt like a straight janitor and Blatt literally was seen as a coaching Messiah prior to hopping to the Cavs

If Hurley is really trying to get to the Lakers he’d better hope he can do what no white coach has done before and that’s connect with LeBron on a level that he respects. If not he’s about to go through the same ringer. And he’d better check that ego because Bron has unprecedented power and they’ll try to make Hurley’s life a living hell before it’s all said and done

Ha, Bill Simmons was just talking recently on his podcast about how he misses seeing big time college coaches cross over to the NBA and disastrously flame out

If Magic is tweeting this…might be imminent

 

[RAX 010]

From Jersey City? He played with my Uncle Rodrick

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Bron wants JJ and Bronny

Rob wants Hurley

Who wins?

Rob..

Bron is outta there

 

[UnQuantized]

All is not well in LABron to Knicks

All is not well in LABron to Knicks

We good

Unrelated but this kinda blemishes that argument I was having with cats about UConn being an undeniable blue blood...NBA GMs don't even try poaching their coaches

What are you talking about NBA teams were trying to get at Kevin Ollie

No way I would take the job if I was in his place. Stay at UCON. Have less stress and deal with more cooperative players.

Exactly. If Dan Hurley cares about his legacy he would not put his future in Rob Pelinka's hands. But money talks. So we'll see.
