What happpened Nasher!? Lakers getting Dan Hurley!

[asiagambler]

yes it is a crazy scene apparently as police are there and no one knows what to expect.

no press conference.

He is expected to address the media so there will be a press conference soon

[homie1975]

his wife showed up at the practice facility 5 mins ago.

uh oh

[asiagambler]

It's official. He's staying at UConn

[asiagambler]

The Lakers' offer was less than I expected... 6/70 ?

I thought I heard it was around $100 million

[stevenash]

staying at UCONN

Hurly declines!



I kind of knew the deal was sealed when Lamont promised Hurley to be the highest paid college coach in the nation.

I'm probably going to see a ticket price hike next season, but it's worth it.

What're you guys drinking?
The first round is on your pal Nasher.

That is what I heard as well.

6 years in LA for $68m($2m he would owe Uconn if he went) vs 6 years at Uconn for $32m. If it was $32m vs $100m it gets to be a tougher decision.

[str]

I just heard where apparently 70 million in California ends up being a little more than 30 million after California taxes are factored in. Don’t know if that’s true but if so 45 million in Connecticut is probably as much or more net money.

Glad for college basketball and UConn that he stayed.

Yep very underwhelming offer given the circumstances

If I had known that's all they were offering, I wouldn't think for a second that he'd leave UConn. How could Pelinka (or I guess it's more Jeanie) even think that? Completely out of touch

[mjsuax13]

Thank god.

Connecticut is a deep blue state.
My property taxes are sky high.

NY, NJ, Mass, Ct. and Rhode Island are among the highest taxed states in the nation.
New Hampshire is state tax free believe it or not.

there is no way they would pay 57% taxes even in that high a tax bracket.

it is true Uncle Sam fed takes a ton of our money and then CA comes in and takes a lot.

i suspect someone making $70M who is not able to shelter any of it will likely pay ~45% give or take in taxes at that pay level when you factor in FD and CA combined.

this is a lousy state to live in for taxes.

just about everything else is amazing. the best weather in the USA IMO

[stevenash]

It looks like UConn's president is going to tear up Hurley's contract he signed last year and give him a more lucrative one.

As per my hometown news outlet.

The max CA tax bracket is ~14% I believe. If you don't live here 6 months and 1 day, you can establish residence in another state. Any tax attorney with half a brain can figure out how to get around that.

The rumor here is that his wife isn't a fan of So Cal. I get that. I once turned down a move to Chicago that would have sealed my career in corporate America. Dodged a bullet there.

The Lakers job isn't for everyone. Hurley has an opportunity to 3 peat. I'm sure the NETS will be calling next year.

Homie I am acutely aware of how much you pay in taxes when you make 500k.

as long as you are "acutely" aware and not obtusely aware.

I have friends in the Bay Area (San Ramon)
Very nice country, the first time I was out there I commented to my friend "It's like a different country out here"
I always made a point to get to Lake Tahoe every time out.
I love that Nevada region too.

I used to get out there one a year up to 2019, then COVID19 in 2020 hit.
Then SF went from a dumpster fire to a towering inferno.
I told her "You know what we call Newark NJ here in the northeast"?
"Oakland east".

COVID changed my life for the better.
The CIO of the company where I worked set us up with the resources to work at home remotely.
Ask me if I miss playing bumper cars on that clusterfuck of a death trap that is I-95.
Not!
What, give up earning a living working at home in my jockey shorts for that?

He should have left the wife behind. Won't get another chance like this. Strike when the iron's hot.

I agree 100%. If they are going to redo his deal maybe it makes sense, but you could go down in history if you build a champion in LA. Oh well, good problem to have.

Ya. Not telling him what to do. It's nice to hold all (or most) of the cards.

I truly believe in "Strike while the Iron's hot" thinking. His teams probably won't ever be as good as the L2 years. So, his IQ is inflated by 20 points right now.

Chance to coach one of the two Name Franchises in the league. I'm serious about the wife, let her stay in CT. The $$ would be insane, but more importantly it's a chance to coach the fukin LAKERS.

[JIBBBY]

Lakers need a lot more then a coach..

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Jerry Buss is dead and so is the Lakers mystique. I don't blame Hurley at all for staying at Uconn over dealing with the insufferable Leturd James. Why would he leave a college powerhouse with a chance to 3peat to "coach" a team where a player runs the show?

And why would he leave for not that big of a pay raise? Lakers barely beat the Kentucky offer that Hurley already turned down

It seems more and more like Hurley was just using the Lakers for leverage which if that was the case, then I guess Lakers actually did well to not offer $100+ million although it's still just not a good look overall for them to miss on supposedly their #1 target and whoever they hire will be seen as the backup choice, not to mention AGAIN looking like a cheap, penny-pinching franchise. Just terrible optics for them all around

[stevenash]

^
Lakers tried to pull the same shit with Coach K years ago.
Didn't end well for the Lakers.

On the surface it might look like Hurley was playing LA off of Connecticut, which is a load of poop, that's not who he is.
He received an enticing offer from LA, he flew out there just to investigate the offer, wouldn't anybody at least listen to what they had to say.
I would.

This confirms what I was thinking all along.

Dan Hurley stayed at Connecticut because happiness doesn’t have a price (msn.com)

That IS who he is because that's what happened. Lakers got played by Hurley and Woj it's that simple

1000 percent DISAGREE.

Did K play LA off of Duke?

I'm checking out of this thread.

Coach K has nothing to do with anything... that's like 20 years ago different owner, different FO, different era

Ask yourself, who leaked this story to Woj ??? Obviously not Pelinka/Buss. There's your answer

[homie1975]

The lakers lowballed him, it is their fault. they offered him less money than Monty Williams makes.

if they truly wanted him, they should have offered him $100M for symbolism.

you are not getting that guy out of the Northeast without coming correct,

i do not blame D Hurley one bit for listening and at least considering the offer.

the LAL cheaped out again.

[IBetYou]

Sounds like an arrogant pr ick to me. Said he has a lot of confidence he & James would work well together because of his diligence and some other bullshit. No idea about the coaches that have failed with James before him. Borrego seems like the man for the job. Humble guy will work better with James.

show me a back to back champion Head Coach who is humble and I will show you 10 who are not.

you need an edge to be at that level of your game.

the lakers lowballed him. period. full stop.

had they come correct with a 9 digit deal, he would be here in LA as we speak.

[IBetYou]

Easy to lead kids me thinks. If it's a two time champ you want, why does Ataman not get consideration? Succeeded in the men's Euroleague with two different teams. He's arrogant too, but a great tactician and a player's coach -not a screamer!
