[Goodman] The Lakers offer was for 6 years and around $70 million, per sources. Hurley has elected to remain at UConn and has a 6-year deal worth approximately $50 million on the table, source told @TheFieldOf68.

What happened to the rumors of 15-16 million a year? These numbers would have him being paid in the mid tier. Slap in the face underpay.
The L in Lakers stands for Leverage
those cali taxes hit different
Lol, Lakers offered less than Kentucky. Our ownership is poor.
How the hell an nba team got less money than a university
Kentucky Offered more. Have some shame Jeanie
Lakers should’ve offered more, but to me if he turned down 6/70 mil he was also turning down 8/100 mil.
He really just didn’t wanna leave UCONN.
After CA taxes it’s practically the same. This is the Lakers “all-in” offer? Pathetic.
Deal could have been 100 mil and he still would have turned it down.
When he tuned down KY there was no way he was leaving for the NBA let alone the Lakers.
We all knew this.
Lue 2.0. But Instead of low balling on years they didn’t make an offer that would blow Hurley away
Lakers needed to make it 100 million if they wanted him but you have to think that is massive overpay.
Trash front office filled with numerous people who aren’t qualified to do the bare minimum of their jobs
Poverty owner
UConn outbidding the Lakers Lmaoooo unreal, 11 Million per year isn’t gonna get it done. Unserious offer.
Less taxes in Connecticut too. 6/100 woulda been a more compelling offer.
Jeanie needs to sell and go work full time at her comedy club.
Said it wasn’t happening yesterday and got downvoted by the usual morons. JJ Podcast here we go
When you factor in the difference in taxes the difference isn’t as large as originally reported. Net it might be less then 10 million over the 6 years especially when you factor in college contracts are usually littered with a lot more bonuses the nba contracts on top of the base money.
Hurley made the right choice, this ownership and front office is garbage.
And here come all of the complainers saying the Lakers didn’t offer him enough money. I think it’s been pretty obvious this wasn’t really about the money for Hurley.
Lights too bright for his bitch ass.
Wouldn’t you think to offer him a number he can’t refuse? Like 6/70 is really not far off from what UCONN can give him. You gotta blow him away with 100mil no?
Walking away from an extra $20 million…I hope I’m that rich one day
Pathetic. Jeanie has to go.
6/70 was never gonna cut it… If we knew that from the start, I doubt many of us would have been so hopeful.
SELL THE TEAM
He was not leaving his situation no matter what the offer is
Some ppl are comfortable doing what they do. I don’t think he’ll ever coach the NBA..no other team offering more than that for a first time college coach.
$70 million/6 years = $11.6 mil/yr
$100 million/8 years = $12.5 mil/yr
It’s a difference of $5 million. Makes sense they’d add it in more if he committed for longer, but even at $75 mil/6yrs it wouldn’t have mattered because this was all a finesse job
Fuck that guy
Hope he’s a first round knockout next year
Ngl We should go target his assistant coach and his coaching staff. Weren’t there reports of his assistant being the brains behind the offensive schemes?
All I know is that I’ll be praying for UConn not to 3-peat.
Woj lying ass did his buddy a favor.
Fuck dude.. they’re gonna hire JJ.. if they do, I really hope he crushes it. I don’t feel good about it though.
Now he gets to tell Uconn to bump that offer up…played us like a fiddle as he should
Higher taxes and less job security. Probably would have had to offer 6/$100m
He turned down $100 mill from Kentucky. Why in the world would the Lakers’ brass think 70 would get it done? If they were serious about poaching him they had to beat that offer. I fully believe he went into the meeting with the Lakers wanting to be blown away and was offered, after considering taxes and having to uproot his family from the east coast, a lateral deal at best.
I don’t want to hear shit about “well, he would have been the 5th highest paid coach in the league”, that’s besides the point. If LA saw him as the guy who would be their coach for the next decade and reshape their culture then you go over the top and make it impossible for him to turn them down. If the Lakers didn’t feel that strongly about him then why even meet with him in the first place.
That offer wasn’t as big as I was expecting. Hurley probably felt the same way. “One of the NBA’s six highest-paid coaches” doesn’t have a ring to it.
LeConned
hope his wife cheats on him
“I’ll think about it” is not what you want to hear when offering somebody 70 mil
Called it lmao
Lakers man are a joke.
People who complain about him being underpaid will the first ones to say “I can’t believe our incompetent FO paid 15 mil for this incompetent pos smh” if he took the job and lost one game. There is no pleasing them.
Post tax the lakers 11.6 is ~5.5m and UConn’s would be ~4.5m. QOL with 5.5 in LA I would think would be worse than 4.5m at wherever he is. Lakers taking the L again for not doing simple math/research
