  I am shocked that this didn’t happen. I am also shocked that he didn’t command a 9 figure contract from the Lakers. 7-8 years/100 million with performance kickers. You need someone to build a bridge to the future after LeBron retires. The Clippers locked up Ty Lue for $14 million/year. You have to be willing to pay. The Lakers didn’t even match what UConn was offering? lol.

  Earlier last week I could have seen him staying at UConn. But as the weekend played out without a No, I thought it was more and more likely that he was going to take the job. (Also when did college teams start practicing in June?)

  I don’t know where the Lakers go from here. It seems they burned the JJ Redick thing when they thought they were getting Hurley.

  Also I’ve read it seems that Hurley will stay at UConn until the Knicks are available.

    Not sure what the incentive is if they can’t even match what UConn gave him. Leave a job you know back and forth and are comfortable for something new without more money? Dumb.

    I think the 3 jobs he’d take in a second are Knicks, Nets and Philly. They’re all near New Jersey. Celtics and Washington are next tier down.
