If you need the weekend to think about $100M there might be a problem here. But I will keep hope alive. |
Just time to give UConn an opportunity to beat it, then the Lakers an oppourtunity to beat that, until one side taps out. |
Also Goodman hasn't been really reliable for a while. I just remember he was close with the Ball family during Zos college days |
Goodman is not the source. The source is https://x.com/TheFieldOf68/status/1799200599298158771 |
That guy thinks he goes to the Lakers. Makes sense though if he wants to tell Uconn in person. He has accomplished a lot there to not tell them on the phone I guess

Jeanie: I’m going to honor my dad and give him the Magic treatment…only this time we’ll offer $100m…guaranteed!
Rob: Got it! I’ll offer him a contract that stipulates $100m for a 100 years.
Jeanie: But that would mean every year Dan would get…{gets cut off}
Rob: https://media1.tenor.com/m/6PFS7ABeJGEAAAAC/dr-evil-one-billion-dollars.gif
Jeanie: where’s that freaking Kobe death stare “laser” when you need it!

Someone posted a tweet about how his wife will have a big say in the decision. Given the importance of family to him, makes sense. I'm guessing he's a go, but he wants to make sure his wife is as well and get her opinion of Jeanie and Rob, the organization, LA.
I'm not sure how much of an issue this could be, but if his bio is correct, I don't think he's ever lived west of New Jersey. I'm sure they've traveled all over, but living is something else and east coast is just different than west coast, especially LA.
Also, now that it's out there, he may not be able to get $100 m elsewhere but he'll get a lot more now. |

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.

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. |

She'll be just fine.

If that rumor is true -- $100M; then we have ourselves a lock. UCONN wont beat that and if they do, Lakers will just top it again. wow.
They value him more than Lue; great. I like that a lot.
I think Lue is better than Ham but I also didn't think he was someone to swing the fences for. I'm a hopeless optimist and will hope we got this right. May not win for a few years but I hope we have a good culture and entertaining ball in the mean time while he grows with them team and some of the players into a championship team again |

Does it surprise anyone that this particular poster would also have this particular opinion.

If the guy goes back without signing 100m contract, it's a wrap up
Another guy used the Lakers as leverage.. Good for him

I'm sure he is tired of that dog (bleep) Connecticut and New Jersey weather. More money and you don't have to deal with that.

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.

Don't colleges offer more benefits on the side as well? When USC hired Kingsburry it was reported that USC bought his two houses from him in Oklahoma, and bought him a $4M house in Los Angeles. So I think colleges offer perks that aren't included in the salary. |

coaching the lakers isnt a great job. its toxic. You are saddled with a polarizing aging star and a bunch of average at best players and a brittle star. The hope is we find a guy like Hurley who thinks they can be the one to fix it.

He may want to tell UConn and his players in person before signing or before news of his deal comes out. He has to fly back there anyway.

I agree with this. I was referring to mulling the offer part... |

See I hate this type of (bleep). This is something your haters say.
Any NBA job is attractive for a coach. Just like the NFL, not many jobs.
Now if Klutch is going to interfere then Hurley is going to say no thanks. I would think that’s something being discussed.
If he is using the Lakers as leverage for UCONN then I don’t know what to say. My guess $100M is over 8 years. Puts him in coach Spo bracket. It’s an overpay but this is what happens when you are cheap up to this point and you have strictly relied on being a bank account for Klutch. |

| If that $100 million dollar contract is true, then Lakers are looking towards his leadership for the next decade, far ahead of whatever years of Lebron are left. I hope he gets some power in writing because you would hate to buy into the Lakers only for them to fire you 2 years into the job. |

I’d take that. |
Jesse Buss is presently the assistant GM. What has he done or prevented. |
Let us know how telling your professional superior that they are wrong on something has gone in your career. |
It worked well for me, saved a lot of lives and paperwork. Jesse Buss is part owner of the Lakers. I’m sure he’s not afraid to speak to Rob, and say this is not the right direction. |
Rob works for him

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?

I think Hurley is the type of coach that would have a hard time coaching LeBron because of his personality |
