Lakers must be ready for slow cooking with Dan Hurley, what went down with JJ Redick? | THE HERD
all right so the Lakers according to W I know W I always trust W preparing massive offer to yukon’s Dan Hurley who is a regular on our show my immediate thought as I wake up do Wordle watch a few news updates see my w ball my initial thought is ah I don’t think it’s a bad idea but Dan Hurley and LeBron what does that mean for LeBron my second thought is Jeanie bus who owns the Lakers and Rob Pena who runs them they’ve got to be looking at these playoffs going the best player in the world is joic he’s young he’s out west the second best player is Luca he’s he’s out west he’s young and then Aunt Edwards and OKC and we got old LeBron and brittle ad and a bunch of me forget the Celtics two best players are in their Prime go look at the finals look at the final four teams look at the West you’re looking at ruie and Reeves and brittle and LeBron San Antonio and Houston by next year could be really interesting the West is packed all young Stars Lakers don’t have one how do you get one well you draft them and develop them so LeBron’s a free agent he’ll probably opt out but W this morning talking about this even mentioned bronny James being drafted to the Lakers so in my take is Bron’s been given a bit of a heads up we’ll get into the more that later but if you’re going to hire Dan Hurley remember he’s like Brad Stevens who the Celtics hired he’s a slow Builder a culture guy he’s not a microwave guy that’s what LeBron and AD want they want to be good now he’s a let it bait guy he did not he had a losing record all three jobs first year Wagner losing record Rhode Island he was eight and 20 first year Yukon he had a losing record he didn’t win a he didn’t win a March Madness game until like year five at Yukon he is a slow build guy hard coach develops Talent creates a culture LeBron wants to win now ad wants to win now Lakers they want to win now this is a team Guy this is not a microwave guy I think it’d be a great great move you start looking around this idea that you used to be able to you know have three stars in a team but they call it the apron the second apron the new CBA it’s very very hard you’re never going to see Golden State again Draymond clay Steph KD NBA is trying to get away from that they don’t want that anymore so that’s why a lot of these good teams it’s a slow build you can add a b player you can add a porzingis you can add but it’s a slow build that’s what the league wants players staying in their City draft develop so Brad Stevens year one with the Celtics and again that’s that’s my comp although obviously yukon’s a much better program than Butler but year one Brad Ste Stevens was 25 and 57 it took him 4 years to win the playoff series in the cruddy East I mean so if you want to go if you want to use that as a comp are you okay are you comfortable as a Laker fan with that I don’t think the Lakers are comfortable I think it’d be great but I’m you know I’m I’m I’m looking right now at that Laker roster the Lakers history I’ve been watching this you’ve been watching this it’s very impatient New York la Chicago these owners don’t want to be in fourth place very long you got NFL teams redot major league baseball teams increasingly popular soccer teams people are distracted in Los Angeles are you ready for slow cooking you know are you are you ready to put it on the old Barbecue Pit for about six hours eight hours Lakers ready for that I don’t think they are Dan Hurley was on our show after we went a Natty uh not long ago and I asked him what might have make of all these Dan Hurley to the NBA rumors it’s certainly flattering but I’ve got a long career of turning down jobs or or more money to stay in places that uh you that I was happy um and that fit me and that uh you know provide me the the resources to at that level uh achieve the things you want to achieve you know the opportunity to go for for a three peat right now is uh it’s it’s the only thing that is obviously on on anyone’s mind here all right so then we pivot to this and I have so many thoughts on why Dan Hurley to the Lakers would be great but I don’t think the Lakers are built for it I think Hurley’s built for it it’s like I say about the WNBA and the media WNBA those women are built for it the media can’t figure out how to handle it I think the Lakers couldn’t handle it I think Hurley wouldd be fine uh JJ reic so what do we make of JJ reic I was just told a week ago he was building a staff so did he tell the Lakers no thanks I mean let’s be honest JJ reck a podcaster currently with LeBron becoming LeBron’s coach is like a Saturday night Liv skit it’s weird does he break down Laker losses I mean how does that thing work it can’t possibly work the players it it would it would could be a subversive move you’d have players that like come on podcast so uh and they just started that business and LeBron likes his podcast business did did did JJ reck leaked the story did the Lakers I mean did did honestly did the agent for somebody leak The Story So Lakers maybe leak it so they get a better deal with JJ reuck JJ reuck wants 10 Lakers want to play him six so they leak the Dan Hurley story to get JJ reuck to settle down and take a lower contract I mean there so many so many things don’t make any sense here here but um this I’ve said this for years stuff gets out when people want it out and remember JJ reic was a week ago compiling a staff the woe story language matters they’re just targeting Dan Hurley they’ve had preliminary contact not interviews they’ve just had preliminary contact with Hurley and the sides are planning to escalate discussions that means they called his agent and his agent called Dan Hurley and said would Dan Hurley be willing to discuss this that that’s what it sounds like to me I’m reading this thing this is my agent calls me and says hey they may call you tomorrow would you take the call yeah sure that’s what it sounds like so this got out because somebody wanted it out did the Lakers want it out because JJ reck starts driving up the price cuz JJ reck knows the job is his and starts demanding stuff the Lakers aren’t comfortable so they leak it to bring JJ reck’s offer to a more realistic for the record Yukon is stacked again so you want to bring in Dan Hurley with the Lakers history of impatience and the revolving door of coaches it’s going to be a price I don’t have a problem with Dan Hurley or JJ Ruck Hurley’s obviously already established as one of America’s best basketball minds and coaches he has proven he’s a culture Builder JJ reck spent more time around the pro game but I I still contend if you look at what Hurley does in NBA circles Hurley is very respected this isn’t like years ago remember the late Jerry tanian got a job like a guys like Tark or Bobby Knight the late legendary coaches they were college coaches they didn’t feel like NBA guys Billy Don Florida felt like an NBA guy while he coached college and has done well in the NBA Hurley feels like he could do both Mike Shashi coached at the Olympics feels like he could do both Mark FU by the way very good offensive coach not a yeller and a screamer Mark fusic Gonzaga he feels like if he wanted to he could do some NBA stuff some guys feel like they fit Dan Hurley feels like he fits but for the record if he stays at Yukon they will be one of the top two or three teams with a great chance to three repeat so it’s not like he’s just leaving a college go job it’s like leaving Kansas if you’re Bill self like this is the Northeast College job in an air hi everybody it’s

WNBA shuld have set up Caitlin v Angel like the NBA did Magic v Bird , damn are they failing ?
Hurley isn't coming to LA to be a Klutch puppet.
Lakers are not a Dan Hurley guy. They don’t have that team or that trajectory right now. I would hire him to develop my young guys. Eventually when LeBron is gone, I hire Hurley. I hire from within.
I think this is the development coach for Bronny.
If they have interest in this guy don’t you think they know all of the things you said ? Also it’s not about Lebron anymore
Brad Stephens is not a comp… more Steve Kerr to warriors! If he's as good as advertised, he should be able to build a foundation with the best player arguably ever🤷🏾He has to show his greatness now, which leads to a system in LA🖤💜💛
If the NBA wants players to stay in their cities they were drafted, why then would we never see a GSW draft and build again?? I don’t know what he meant by that
Dan hurley would be perfect for a rebuild. But old man LeBron wants to win now not gonna happen with this current Lakers roster.
Lakers have no identity…. Coach changes that.
You really think the Lakers are going to show any patience?? They are the most entitled team in pro sports
The way the lakers operate is so infuriating. They have the worst front office and ownership combo in the nba. They could hire an A+ coach or a C- coach and the results at the end of the season would be relatively the same. They’re unable to take advantage of being the “Lakers” media darlings, biggest fanbase, championship history, they have so much going for them but they always shoot themselves in the foot.
I'm all for it because coaching is what really wins
Hurley should go to Charlotte or Cleveland
VERY SMART MOVE by the Lakers to Hire Dan Hurley over jj redick!!!
Next couple years for lakers will be like Kobe’s final years. Probably minus the injuries, but similar results.
Stop talking about women’s basketball
Why would Dan Hurley want to go to a team where the two most important players on the roster won’t listen to him and he’s going to be stuck with a D2-level talent on his roster just to make an AGING (aged) “star” happy enough to re-sign?
The amount of pressure that Dan is going to face is ridiculous. The Lakers are not a good drafting team and Dan is going to be forced to coach LeCorn and Bronny James. You heard me, LeCorn and BRONNY JAMES!!! I know you miserable Lakers fans will have something to say but the Lakers are not a good situation to walk into. If I'm Dan I will stay put at UCONN or take another coaching job somewhere else with more patience and a chance to build an actual competitive team through the draft.
Colin…this is why I listen to you
Your breakdown here makes so much sense to me where other people in your field have talked about this subject and they say how Dan Hurley is such a great fit for the Lakers
I think Jeannie Buss needs to reach out to you and take your suggestions for the next Lakers Coach because I am tried of getting ousted in the playoffs…we need to win now
Slow cooking??? No one is planning a cake with Lebron. Dan Hurley wants a raise…next story.
Lakers need to hire a Jackson. Phil or Mark.
As an NBA coach Danny Hurley will last one season, maybe less. His act is gonna fall flat with grown men, and he doesn't know how to act any other way.
Dan Hurley has the most job security in all of basketball. Why leave so you can get thrown under the bus by lebron abd ad.
You can hire the best coach to ever exist, they will tank. Lebum should just get his ownership stake in the Lakers and retire, then fire the gm and the coach and do the Jackie Moon, as a p/t player
I can see a future where they get neither & they are forced into hiring some unknown name within the organisation to be the coach knowing that A.D & James aren't going anywhere & neither have a overwhelming desire to win a chip really & the fans are still going & watching so fans don't care about a chip so there's no real pressure to have a legit coach or big name sign on as "coach"
JJ Reddick is a woke black lies matter bozo.
COLIN… YOU COOKED WITH THIS ONE
College dominance normally don't carry over to immediate professional impact or even success. Players make way more and have more power. Also certain franchises have unreasonable expectations, and losing isn't a option. This is a bad hire for the Lakers
The first time I saw Dan Hurley in 20 years .
LeBron is a coach killer.
Lebron and AD led Lakers aren't going to win a second title. Love them both but it's just facts. So I would rather a slow and deliberate rebuild with a brilliant coach like Hurley, for long term success like we did in the Pat Riley and Phil Jackson years.
ohh plz ohh plz – I hope this is true! peace out Lebron!
Hire Dan, trade LeBron and AD, draft a center in the first round. That'll be a great start for the Lakers
Only thing I know about this guy is his brother is Bobby Hurley from duke, love that guy
Why in the world would Hurley even consider that awful job? Money? He has money. The Lakers can’t win—they’re way too old, not good enough, and not smart enough. Remember, these are the people who took Lonzo Ball #2 overall. The coach is just someone to blame.
How much are they paying U Callin to advertise and promote the Fire SALESFORCE AI QI coded design network of Hurley
Were U ever a High school Pom Pom twirler since U love words like twitchy and itching bugs in the planetary system network
Mu ah VA 💋🌈
Thought that was David Blatt for a second
They have no shot at winning anything. Why would he go there? Slow build with a 40 year old lebron?
Slow build through the draft, hmm 😒 Dallas?
Lakers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
JJ is not a head coach…hes an xplayer just trying to stay in the spotlight.
I’m glad to see the NBA addressing 2 of the issues that hurt the league a lot more than politics did by letting the game get more physical and keeping players on the same teams. Politics was just the final straw for a lot of fans. You can’t be boring AND political.
