Hoosierfan1901 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 No one has a clue what is going on, but I’m pretty sure he liberating the Lakers to get a better deal with UConn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 They didn't offer as much as I thought they would. Uconn will probably pay him close to that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only gets leaked to Woj in two situations: Either everything's been discussed and an agreement is in place, in which case the official announcement comes shortly after. Or it gets leaked because Hurley wants UConn to know exactly how seriously he's considering leaving, in which case UConn needs time to match the offer. The delay since news broke told us it was clearly the latter scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDom Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 This must be wrong. I've been assured that college basketball is beyond broken and no one would possibly want to be associated with it or endure its many evils. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Just talking out loud but maybe the vibe Hurley got was I need to create my own culture...and how can I do that if Lebron/AD aren't on same page,etc. with what he wants culture wise. I always thought the Lakers trying to get Hurley was a long term move.....post Lebron AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 This is a good thing for college basketball because it can't keep losing the best coaches. I never felt he would leave for the Lakers because of his wife not wanting to leave the east coast. If he wants to go to the NBA I think the Nets or the Knicks jobs will come open in the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of pressure, cash strapped ownership, and a terribly constructed roster that is heavily impacted by the newer CBA. LeBron is old AD is constantly hurt and the rest of the roster is not very good to say the least. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Good result for the college game. As much as I dont like the path college basketball has taken, I want to rekindle the passion I one had. Keeping guys like Hurley is good for the sport. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Hurley is definitely holding out for an East Coast position 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 I'd like to point out that the supposedly massive offer the Lakers were giving Hurley matches the total value we offered Brad Stevens three years ago. Higher AAV, sure, but barely more than what Kentucky was said to have offered Hurley this cycle. You'd think the premier program in the NBA would have more to offer than state universities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierFaithful Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Lakers don't put this out if they don't think they can close - this clearly makes whoever gets the job the second (at least) choice. Hurley leaked this, as said above, to get more $ from UConn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That father-son duo could be a real headache to manage as a coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's also some comfort in knowing you're going to get fired and, while the blame will fall on you from the Lakers' ownership and front-office perspective, it won't be assigned to you by the rest of the league." "The team is resource-poor, in that ownership is not very rich by NBA standards," the scout said. "Two factions vie for franchise influence: the Magic crew vs. the Kobe crew. Superstar sensibilities run the franchise. Too many agendas have to be serviced. Community pressure is unrealistic and unrelenting. It's an old team with player personnel interference from its superstars. And the team is just not good enough." There's also the reported influence of the Klutch Agency, run by high-profile agent Rich Paul, which represents the Lakers' two biggest stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis. As a result, the perception is that there is no clear chain of command, leaving a head coach wondering to whom he really answers "Look at the list of coaches since Phil. You get none of the credit, which is what it is with LeBron. They are incredibly cheap, which affects the ability to fill out the coaching staff. And you have completely unrealistic expectations, in part from media and in part from ownership." https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nba/nba-confidential-lakers-head-coaching-job-attractive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
