It is only Buss family profits, it doesn’t affect the roster unless they get buyer’s remorse and cut salaries. The worst thing could be a time cost if it makes them less eager to cut him loose if it doesn’t work out, they might have difficulty eating that.

If it's a long-term contract, he wouldn't be "saddled" much longer. That star is closer to the end.
And if the talk of changing and actually development, I don't see how that is a toxic.
But I'm sure the whole "pay to play" in college, having to work the boosters, fundraising, as well as, actually doing what you're really there for, coaching and half the salary is probably the best route, right? |

he is the right choice IMHO. College athletics is in bad shape. I really hope he is our coach, but it will be funny to see how patient people are. we have to figure out how to break it then fix it when you have a bron on the team.

And I offered one of those places as an alternative. Only $100 mil limits the market on the Riveria and in Montecito.

We all know how great a coach Geno is. He's got nothing to prove in college and Ive always wondered how come he doesn't want to coach in the NBA. |
The fact he doesn't himself want to try to Coach in the NBA, but thinks Dan Hurley not only could, but could win multiple Championships with the Lakers, speaks volumes.

Patience is key, Phil Jackson isn’t coming in and winning with this roster. It will take any new coach some time to implement their system. And it will also take buy in from the FO.

I think that makes it a good fit actually. LeBron will naturally hold some of the dominance over the locker room and Hurley can ease in to his role. Rather than just coming in and laying down the law day one, welcome back to college mfers! |

Reading between the lines, it seems we have an AD and JJ Redick beef going on now since Redick didn't vote for AD for any defensive awards.
And now AD is blocking JJ from the Lakers job.
There's no other Laker player with the power to tell brass what to do re: the head coach. |
According to Woj, Dan was always #1. Going with your first (and obvious) choice doesn't take a veto from a player.
Link |
I'm going by Fanta's speculation that the timeline was Pelinka went to Hurley first, felt like it was not going to happen, then approached Redick as the second choice.
At that point a Laker player made it clear he did not approve of Redick.
If that was true, that has to be AD.
He is speculating that, at that point, they went back to Hurley and when they went back to him he seemed more open to the idea. |

What part of LA? Sure there is homelessness, but in certain parts.
It is less prevalent in the East because of the dog (bleep) weather.

Same old same old |
If Hurley goes back to UConn and turns down $100 million, it may be a sign that coaching the Lakers just isn't that attractive a job. Or it could mean that coaching LeBron isn't an attractive job.
Or maybe it would just mean Hurley and his wife want to stay in the Tri-state area. |
He's not going to turn down $100 million because of LeBron. LeBron only has a couple years left. |

Paul Pierce also said Hurley would be a bad hire and JJ with no coaching experience would be a better hire for the Lakers. Celtics can't stand the thought of the Lakers getting an elite coach. |

I bet he can ask them not to extend Lebron if it was a deal breaker. I don't think it is. It keeps the team afloat for a few seasons while Hurley implements his system

Why it does bother them so much? Celtics are going to pass the Lakers this year in championships, Tatum and Brown are gonna be a tough out for the next few years |

| OFFER HIM 120 mil, I don't care. Get him signed and let's go. The money paid to him makes absolutely no impact on free agency or otherwise. The fans should not care what we are paying coaches, we should care about what coaches they hire. If they are willing to spend, let them, and let's get a real coach/staff. Same with assistants, gm, etc. |

$100+ million is hard to say no to.
Than you factor in Jeanie wanting to give him power to be their Stevens/Spoelstra. Dan has a lot of thinking to do. |
