Woj- “Dan Hurley is on his way to meet the Lakers tomorrow. He will sit down with Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss and they will start to dig into what a Hurley/Laker relationship would look like…Lakers would love to get a deal done this weekend.”

It feels like it’s a done deal. Just crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s
The Finals are in 8 minutes btw and Malika and Woj are talking about the 7th seed, Lakers really do run the league
he just needs to set a paul pierce jersey on fire and the deal will be complete
Honestly this would be a home run of a hire. The Lakers haven’t had a culture since Phil Jackson and I hope they give Hurley free rein to build a culture here. Not to mention Lebron is about to retire and if we need a rebuild Hurley would be great at developing young players and an established culture would do wonders for young players. If we do hire him hope he’s a laker coach for years.
They need to get it done very quickly and dont make same mistakes on what they did to ty lue
Keep going….im close
Wonder if JJ was being used as a smokescreen? Or did something break down negotiations?
Who runs basketball. Lakers run basketball. Fuck Boston
This better not embarrassingly unravel
FO may need to find avenues to help Hurley if he accepts the job. The position is known to take a mental toll on coaches given the demand of which Hurley has previously addressed some of those factors that come with working within the line of business.

This coach would push Austin, Max, and Rui to their max, and that’s what they need to be successful. I think Austin thrives under Hurley.
Damn she’s back to looking good to me. After Udoka bs I was disgusted.
Let’s hope this is not a Coach K situation where Hurley declines
I thought I read somewhere this morning that Hurley and Woj have the same agent, is there any truth to this? Would make sense since Woj seems to be the only one with info on this. But also have to be weary of the fact that it could just be leverage to get a raise out of UCONN.
Hmm I wonder if this was leaked to Woj or he was finally given the go ahead to report it by Rob to add a little extra pressure to get the deal done
Putting it out publicly could be a strategy to get him to sign, but surely this would piss off Hurley
They sound desperate. Hurley is gonna get $15mil, which is the same as Spoelstra
Honestly if I was Lebron I’d probably want to leave seeing how the lakers seem to be treating him like he’s already retired.
