Source: Lakers preparing massive offer to UConn's Dan Hurley

[stever20]

so supposedly Monday is decision day. My gut says he's going to stay. I think if he was going to leave it would have already happened. what do you guys think?

I'm with you on this. I see him staying. A Jersey guy. An East Coast guy. Primarily a coach and just seems better fitted to collegiate level coaching.

Gordon Gekko versus Bud Fox - I see him as being more of a Bud Fox. How many yachts can you ski behind Dan Hurley?

now I think if(when) the Knicks open up, it might be a totally different story.....

WOJBOMB:
BREAKING: Connecticut’s Dan Hurley has turned down the Los Angeles Lakers’ six-year, $70 million offer and will return to chase a third straight national title, sources tell ESPN. LA would’ve made him one of NBA’s six highest paid coaches.

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HURLEY STAYS!

sure doesn't seem like 6/70 is all that massive of an offer really.

You don't just offer Steve Kerr money to a complete newbie. But the Lakers probably counted on the allure of itself to sell the job alongside top 10 money... lol

Congrats Huskies fans.

And yeah Hurley probably ain't leaving for any job other than maaaaybe the Knicks, just like Jay Wright.

Great for UCONN and the league. The offer is a lot lower than I expected. I'm sure the Huskies gave him a bump!

Great news for UCONN and the Big East!

Think this will help our media agreement negotiations? I would hope so. To stever20's point, so long as the Knicks don't come calling before then.

you figure the media agreement should be done likely this summer. The current deal expires next year.
