We would be the highest paid nba coaches of all time!

No shot. This would be kind of outrageous but also – not my money so spend it if thats what it takes.

Good. Until coach contracts become a part of the cap, it doesn’t matter. Do what it takes if that’s the guy you want.

On the Lakers Nation pod, they floated the idea that the Lakers would have to double Hurley’s current UConn contract so ~$11 million per year (current contract is $5.35 million). $16 million per year is nearly triple.
Also, do you have a link to that tweet. Who is the source for this?

If true, can’t be complaining about ownership being cheap.

“This cheap ownership isn’t going to be spending money on Vogel’s contract, Ham’s contract, and a new contract. No way!”
Ownership:

There’s no luxury tax for coach salaries. If you want to gain an edge and have money to burn from a $2B a year local TV deal, why not?

Steve Kerr would still make more annually at $17.5 a year, but he’s only on a two year deal.

The more I think about this the more I love it, we need to make this happen

Come on we’re gonna need a better source than this

Why are we acting like this would be a good hire?!

Dropping our nuts.

Another college bum. He’s gonna be fired before 2026 if hired SAD
Dicey12
Read that he’s current contract is around 36m over 6 years so we literally have to double what he’s making

There are a lot of good college coaches that were not successful transitioning to NBA. Hope Dan can get it done!

I heard from my uncle friend who owns a taco truck by staples it’s more

No excuse to be cheap when you’ve been charging some of the highest rates for tickets in nba history and have cashed in tremendously from all the people who want to watch Lebron play.

Cant wait for us to fire him next year and then pay him 15 mil for 4 years

Imagine he still says no lol

Why crop who tweeted this?

Has RDAmbition confirmed this?
lolxddavid
I’m sure he wants the job, it’s his wife that’s holding him back most likely

College coaches never pan out, Larry Brown is the only one off of the top of my head that has, and it took him 30 years to win anything in the NBA. This sub will eat this hiring tf up though.

Hurley is worth that money. Do you want to be cheap, hire a guy with no experience or a retread only to keep getting bitched on by Udoka, Finch, Malone, Spo, Mazzulla, hell even KIDD? Or do you want a guy that can develop youth, work with the new age NBA and draw up offensive sets.
I actually think Redick can be a great coach, but it’s not a good fit. Adelman is a better choice if Hurley says no

Might as well go for it – it’s not part of the salary cap. It’s gonna take serious money to take him from a great job, gotta do what it takes.

Well that would certainly make his decision easy
