Lakers job is ‘lowly regarded’, why did Dan Hurley turn Los Angeles down? | NBA | SPEAK

NBA analyst Slick Rick buer in with us today we talked a little bit about this but why did Dan Hurley turn down the Lako shops like essentially because they didn’t offer can’t refuse money there was talk about it being aund million they came in with 70 million Lord Jesus um he’s had a six-year $48 million offer from Yukon sitting on his desk as a result of going after the Lakers job or showing interest in it that’s not probably going to go to at least 60 to 10 per and ultimately the authority and the headaches that come with being the Lakers head coach were not worth the difference of essentially $10 million couple million per year so that’s what that’s That’s What It ultimately comes down to the idea that he was suddenly went you know what I just can’t pass the chance of winning a third consecutive Championship that’s a bunch of malarkey look he wouldn’t have entertained going to the Lakers he wouldn’t have flown out to see what it was uh I’m told that he got a little taste of the dysfunction of the organization he realized that oh wait a minute I don’t get to put who I want on my staff sitting on the bench uh I’ve I have to PL Pate all these other people and you’re going to pay me $70 million where I can kind of make the same amount of money and I’m the king of the castle like n you know what thanks appreciate the interest and you just bumped my salary but um you know what I’ll take a pass so all money isn’t good money nope I think we all understand that right well I mean once you get to a certain Shady say all money good money H all money okay it’s all green once you get to a certain tax bracket it it it does change things I think he turned I think some of that is true um but I also think that is compounded with the fact that he has an opportunity to enter in a whole different realm and space in college basketball by three pting I mean in order to be in that position you obviously have to win back to back national championships which are very hard to do and now you’re in a position to put yourself in the conversation with someone like a John Wooden who this hasn’t happened since 1973 like that is that is next level greatness yes you can go to the NBA at any time after you three repat you will have other offers in the NBA probably for the rest of his career he’ll have the opportunity to go to the NBA there will be coaches fired in the NBA every single year sure so it’s not that this opportunity to go to the NBA is suddenly going to disappear for the propertuity of his career I agree with that but I when you think about you could be the Los Angeles Lakers head coach coach of an iconic franchise sure coaching LeBron James and Anthony Davis doesn’t that come close to like whatever you do at the Collegiate level even something as as historic as three consecutive championships I still think it’s really close I I don’t think I don’t think winning the three at least as far as your Q rating and your overall recognition baset being the coach of the Lakers is the same as Prestige wise yes I think there’s a lot that I think there’s a lot of baggage with that job listen I love the Lakers okay but no like an opportunity to to win three straight national championships no one’s done that since John Wooden in 1973 or or coaching the Lakers for maybe three years but Bill self has won two championships and and and W and hurle won backto back Championship two is different than three yeah but and and that one two three I get what y’all saying but that’s when the Lakers were unserious because you’re going to start thinking about that third one if they playing with your money Shady has two Super Bowl rings right now if the Kansas City chief said man we offer you three years 40 million and the Green Bay Packers say we offer you 3 years 85 million shady ain’t gonna be saying but I can win my third one with the no but if the money is close he could be like Oh I’m with Patty I’m with Andy Reid I have a chance to win another one you know what I’m saying so number one you played me with me with the money so now I’m thinking I’m making this here and I’m really calling the shots then when I sit down with you it’s been a lot of assistant coaches that I’ve been around that became head coaches and talking to them on the practice fields during meetings and all that all they wanted to do when when they became a head coach they wanted to see what the what the program would look like under they rules under they system under they command of how they wanted to run it now I’m coming from Yukon and I’m running it a certain way and I’m winning and I’m coming over hearing you saying Bron Brown want to like this bronny might have to come right we might need to keep these assistant coaches we might want this in play and you telling me that basically I’m running it with y’all not the way I want to run it and you offering me this money I’m cool I’mma go back to Yukon where I’ve had a lot of success and now I’m thinking I have a chance to win three of them I never thought the Lakers were serious about this and it showed by what they offer so you’re saying if they offered him 100 million that thre Pat wouldn’t matter as much not at all I think it I think it would it might shift it a little bit if you saying 100 million I got ad BR and Lakers taxes but yeah by the way I I have to come back to this like Dan Dan Hurley we were not talking about Dan Hurley no he was talking about Dan herley Dan Hurley didn’t didn’t exist in the basketball universe and then suddenly he’s being considered to be the next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and suddenly that trumps the NBA Finals that suddenly becomes the news so this idea that I look I think we know the details what’s that mean though that that means that his winning two consecutive championships at Yukon does not hold the same standing as you’re going to be the next coach of the Los Angeles I disagree though I I watched him his his where he come from cuz you’re a basketball fan right I am so from high school right he was a really good coach got better get the college got better and better then he gets to Yukon he didn’t get there first he got the Yukon he built Wagner he built Rhode Island right he built Yukon okay cool but he’s been successful everywhere he’s been at and now him even when he got the Yukon they wasn’t just great he had to build them boys up they was weak too yeah right now he’s at this point when they went back to backs and got a chance to win another one that’s big to me dude if he if that was the driving force then he would have never considered the Lakers why would you consider the lers because you thought they was going to offer you that 100 million that’s why the Lakers multiple things can be true though and there’s also some negotiating going on here as well I just think when it came down to it sometimes you can hear things and when you see things it it it aluminates a little bit more when you get in the building you start having conversations like this was going on look the Lakers are very unique organization they are run unlike any organization that I’ve been familiar with in my many years in this business they are a family-owned business there are factions within the building from every different era of Lakers basketball that all have a lot of say and influence on on all of the decisions that go on it’s it’s it is a job that requires much more than coaching basketball forget coaching LeBron and AD which would be a job for anyone because they are superstars who demand attention and respect and and what they say carries a lot of weight as it should most Superstars do that that’s not unique to the lake there are many things that are unique to the Lakers outside of the Lakers you have I don’t know this living breathing entity of Los angelist to deal with people are involved in every aspect the entertainment industry is involved the fans are very involved like there’s a lot of voices and pulse around this job it is not just your job and your voice and not only that go ahead no I think another thing is like even with this job it is a big job it’s the Lakers right but one thing Andy re used to tell me right I remember my first year there and uh Brian West was a starter but he was kind of he was hurt he was always up and down I said yo it’s my time I’m ready to go he said well why you want to be all pro yeah I’m ready to be all pro you want to be lead the league in Russian yeah I want to lead the league in Russian he said be patient right because you still going to do that the next year the next year so My thing is with Dan let’s say he chases threee right and it works out don’t work out but he always has enough time right his patience I come back to the NBA and and he’s a good he’s a good coach and not only that too stability though right I know we don’t talk about a lot but a lot of money you know will erase some of that stability but if you pay me the same money I’m stable over here at Yukon I’m the last couple years I’ve seen a coach win a championship with LeBron James and get fired I seen a coach go to the postseason the Western Conference finals and get fired whatever money they making you know what I mean so now I’m coming over here I got to listen to everything y’all saying and run it kind of similar to how y’all want me to run this you know what I’m saying yes I it say six years but I don’t know how stable this may be because this organization ain’t stable right now what does this look like for me everything looks prettier over here in Yukon right now and the money wasn’t enough for me to say you know what even for a little dysfunction I’m making a $100 million I’m staying right here at Yukon to try to go get number three well reports are saying that the Lakers head coaching job is quote lowly regarded and is not seen as an ideal landing spot I think that the the Lakers coaching job is still a great job I think it does still have a great deal of prestige I think that this particular chapter of the Lakers organization with LeBron with ad bringing bronny in is a very unique opportunity for the right person the there’s not that many jobs obviously in on the planet for professional coaching jobs there’s only 30d of these in the in the NBA and there’s only one Lakers so is even though there is all these other factors involved with the Lakers job I think for the right person it is something that will catapult you into a whole different space longevity is not a thing anywhere around the NBA most coaches don’t last more than four years at this point it is a cycle the standard is extremely high and unrealistic if you bring in a star that changes the timeline entirely so it’s not completely unique to the Lakers I think what is unique to the Lakers is the success that the coaches have had and then getting fired but I think this particular moment for the right person could be a really good opportunity but Rick how good is the Lakers job well this has been a long moment because we’re talking Darin ham we’re talking Frank vogle we’re talking Luke Walton we’re talking like a what seven eighty year long moment since we had an iconic coach running this show uh a scout said to me it’s high on Prestige it’s bleep in every other way and I wouldn’t go quite that far because there is you are in La so that has the plus and the minus sure you have you you are the head of an iconic franchise you have the attraction you’re always you’re always going to be able to get free agent talent that wants to come to LA right so there’s there is all of that but it feels to me like there’s a disparity in the job of being head coach in particular of the Lakers we think of it as sort of a blue blooded company a iconic franchise and that job feels more like one of a startup in terms of you’re not going to get paid very well there’s going to be a lot of people throwing ideas there may change direction at any given moment there’s not a whole lot of stability and the expectations are a massive everybody’s dreaming big dreams but the chances of that being a reality are very low at this point and so and if it doesn’t work out you’re going to be looking for another job so while we think of it as like this big prestigious thing and it can be the launching pad in the right circumstances it hasn’t been the right circumstances for eight years now which makes it not living up to its name well I I think of the type of person you are right because every this job is not for everybody and I’m a type of guy where I like I like big risk I like even greater reward right so now if I go to LA Lakers and I’m the head coach and we do well we start winning we do this we do that and I add on to the 17 Championship that we already have that’s big Legacy oh you saying doing well win a championship WI a championship right right that’s the goal that’s what we playing for that’s what we coaching for I would run La imagine running La that’s like running New York right now the other part is he I can be there I get my little money right we don’t win and they fire me but I’m a type of guy I want it all so I’m going risk it all to win more there’s some people like you talked about that they don’t want that right oh man that job you know what there’s no security there man like I might need more money because if I don’t win I won’t be there I’m gonna take that chance depends where you are yeah and I’mma take that chance too because I believe it’s I believe it’s a good job because as a head coach when you’re about to accept a job the very first thing you look at is who’s my players right I have two top 75 players you do one that’s older but he ain’t showed us no sign of slowing down yet he is still playing at a really high level so I’m looking at it like okay I have the players to build around an Anthony Davis and LeBron James you know the Lakers are going to get a free agent in here someway somehow it’s going to be another name coming there to help this roster so I think it’s a really good job because you have the players to build around and at least try to have some success in the next two three years because Braun Brun and AD is there I believe it’s a good job I I I think you guys in looking at that I mean that sounds sounds good it it it looks good on paper well I’m looking at the rest of the Western Conference M okay so you got ad and LeBron that wasn’t enough to get you past Minnesota Denver Dallas years ago they was in West Conference years ago I’m not moving in the right direction when you’re looking at a roster you could you could do worse than what the Lakers are starting with I I’m I’m with you the Western Conference has got much better and it is very competitive but I think it I think it for for me the way that I look at the Lakers right now is this from the organization standpoint they need to have realistic solid expectations like yes we are trying to compete for a championship but we are also in a an very interesting space and time for our organization what we have provided them on the roster and what we’re doing right now I know you are suggesting something that never happen doing something logical okay we need to have logical expectations we obviously want to compete for a championship but we have the logical expectations and a coach needs to come in a work with the that sounds so good what’s a great job Ain happening what’s what’s a a great job you guys would say right now so I just want to hear it that’s why I said Lakers two top 75 other than Lakers like what’s a what’s a great team or you want City Okay Oklahoma City what you say Joy I mean those jobs are not available I’m talking about jobs any job but that’s why that’s why like when you are if you are a good team generally the unless there’s something you know outstanding that happens then you don’t get that that job not you know what’s a really good job Boston I mean I put Boston La in the same group like they in that Legacy part right all the Championships and all that but any other like OKC I get it they got some young stars all I don’t want to coach in Houston I don’t want to coach in I don’t I want to coach in La though if listen that’s me out if you do if you do if you do your best right let’s say you win championships in all these places La you said Houston Rockets yeah and who the other one OKC imagine the the difference because like the the benefit of it though right like but but I’m just saying forget the benefits if both these teams was in St Louis you talking about you want the Rockets over LeBron James and AD to coach explain that to me CU as a head coach your first time walking into head coach of NBA team you want the Rockets over braon Bron and AD what are my what are my expectations for the Houston Rockets nothing I mean exactly right so my ability to over giving tickets away man that should be the only reason subscribe here to get the latest from speak
