EMERGENCY POD: Dan Hurley Turns Down Reported 6yr/$70M From Lakers. Not Big Enough? What Next?
Well, the news indeed arrived on Monday, and it wasn't what Lakers fans wanted to hear. Dan Hurley said thanks, but no thanks, to the Lakers, and will remain in Storrs, Connecticut to coach the Huskies.
So the Lakers are still without a head coach, except now they have a high profile failure in the headlines.
Why did they fail? It's possible that Hurley was never leaving, and was only using the Lakers as leverage. It's possible that the pull from UConn, with a chance for a 3-peat and deep family ties to the east coast, was too much to walk away from. It's possible that money wasn't going to be the, or even a, primary consideration.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Lakers offered Hurley 6 years, and $70 million, which would have put Hurley in the top 6 in NBA salaries. That clearly wasn't a big enough offer to make money a compelling factor.
So why didn't the Lakers go bigger? What comes next?
Lots to react to.
