    100M guaranteed damn. That's at least 4 seasons of fireproofing.

    When did the unnamed “leak” drop with the list of qualities and requirements for the head coaching position?

    I feel like looking back Hurley checks all the boxes:

    “ The Lakers are seeking a coach who will command the locker room and hold players accountable, as well as tirelessly gameplan and provide a level of structure and organization, according to those sources.“

    It sounds like they’re talking about Hurley specifically, while it’s more of a stretch they had JJ in mind.

    Probably that..
    Not an Alpha, or top 10 defensive player in the NBA, dude? Outside of Lebron, the other guy's opinions are irrelevant.

    Is this is a power play just to get a better deal with Uconn? Him going back and mulling the offer doesn't sound like someone who is determined to prove himself in the NBA.*

    *basing on what sounds like a legitimately good deal the Lakers are offering him

    If Uconn coughed up 100M garunteed, I wouldn't be mad at him, for staying put though.

    This just sounds like smoke from the FO to justify their reasoning (which I don't think is needed at this time). A couple of Lakers players!

    Now we gonna blame Reaves, Rui, or AD for picking the coach? Cmon man...

    Meh..AD is the franchise player, due for 60M per next season. His opinion is supposed to count more than Lebron's. The other two might not even be here, when this season starts.

    They should listen to AD, but I'm over this narrative of blaming players over these FO decisions. They shouldn't hide behind AD if their choice fails.

    Sounds like using the Lakers to get more out of UConn

    Do we need to get Baldwin in the room?

    If he’s just flirting but not willing to commit, this unexpected turn may turn into some disappointment.

    If it's $100m over 8, i don't think that's enough to get it done. That's only $12.5m a year and can be matched.

    True, but if that’s legit, that’s a crazy number of years to offer, no coach gets that in the NBA, that’s like a Phil Jackson type offer, that has to count for something you’d think. I doubt he isn’t able to counter either, if the Lakers want him you’d think they’d pay up.

    If Dan takes the job he has to at least appear that this was a really tough …. tough decision for him (which it surely is) to leave UCON and the city that he and his family love. Probably best done with the decision finalized and announced at home. I think he’s challenge motivated and no way he could not be in awe and impressed with the premiere NBA team and organization it is …. when he is in Jeanie’s office with all of those trophies and in conversation with her. Jeanie seems the most genuine and engaging kind of a person, let alone owner of the team. If not now then he never will. That’s not this guy …. he’s going to want this most prime of opportunities IMO.

    Me and my friends love Dire Straits in the 80s, yeah, I did not know that Mike Knopfler didn’t want the spotlight but still his music reached us here halfway round Sirron’s flat Earth. They had airtime here constantly from Fm rock radios and of course MTV for Money for Nothing…

    No if he wants it she’s not going to deny him …. so disagree.
