Lakers' Pursuit Of Dan Hurley, Draft, And Free Agency

[@jkh5]

Dan Hurley has a case for best coach in basketball in general. If the Lakers hire him I hope the Lakers fan base realizes this is a home run hire. The haters and complainers online will be saying a college coach jumping to the NBA is destined to fail but this would be a home run hire point blank period.

[@oh7870]

whether Hurley or JJ, let's get it done asap. we need to assemble a roster to match Celtics in next yr's Final, come on. No time to waste. and let's push Bron to commit to playing some defense and continue to knock down 3s. that's what we need out of Bron at this point in his career. 3&D player.

[@thaofficiall2thad420]

LeBron can't play 2 on 5 that's the problem can't expect a damn near 40 yr old to be top scorer and be your best defender like where do they do that at smh if you want him to play defense please find someone who can score an average not just a couple games 20 points a game besides AD like seriously I'm tired of this

[@Isaac-ul8yz]

at this point i’m just so curious how Hurley would translate to the NBA.

[@Nostalgia9478]

We need a new video guys. We're anxious about Hurleys decision.. Ease our anxiety Lakers Nation. lol

[@evolve777]

Hiring Dan Hurley is the wise choice. Give him the time and motivation to create a culture as well as him having the full backing of the front office.

[@fattony9227]

If the Lakers hire Hurley to start a new era then it's less likely that LeBron (age & salary) and Bronny (limited potential) will be a part of the plan. The only way out of the current stagnant situation is for the Lakers to aim for a major rebuild. A number of the one way players on the roster may find themselves closer to the exit door. Since winning an NBA title with this roster is slim to none, blowing it up and starting over may sound more sensible option.

[@josephclark8386]

I think they've been talking to Dan Hurley that's about the time the play in tournament started, let him know if we don't win a title this year there will be a position open

[@warmunky3797]

Watching the replay and seeing someone post in live chat "Tyrell Clay - ​​BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers have signed JJ Redick to a 5 year $100 million contract" BAHAHA! It's not the hiring of JJ that i would find unbelievable and extremely funny, but 100 Mill for an unproven untested hot take stab in the dark?!?! OMGLOL!!!!

[@sergioperez2123]

I guess we just have to wait and see one way or the other. Good, come back.

[@jamesstinedurf9841]

finding talent in the nba is more difficult than college. in college you just go out and try to convince the best player to play for you. in the nba you have to deal with the draft and money. but maybe Hurley is great at scouting talent that other people might overlook

[@devonpeterson471]

Alright I'd like a update

[@michaelsquires1177]

Yeah Dan is getting a new contract from uconn

[@rbar89]

Lakers want Dan Hurley! Lakers front office want a culture. Lakers young players want development. But will Laker fans be patient and allow for that to happen? As a Laker fan. We NEED a coach not a player who has no coaching experience.

[@tmoney6475]

Can’t expect fans to be patient when the team has 2 max players, 1 turning 40 and the other 31. This isn’t a rebuild.

Dont sign jj redick for headcoach lol sign him for assistant. I hope the roster will be great thia offseason.

[@ethemerdogan1855]

How much would it take to get Deandre Hunter? If lakers continue with Bron and AD at 4&5 I want positional size for the rest of the starters. Tristan Da Silva, Hunter and Reaves for example, or Taurean Hunter and Reaves. Im not givning up 2 firsts tho, Dlos expiring and ’29 first or this years

[@LeadfootLou]

The bottom line as far as I’m concerned is that you’re not going to win a championship with AD as your main center and LeBron as your main power forward. It doesn’t matter who coaches the team in this scenario. We’ve never really replaced Javale and Dwight with a proper center and the results show this.

[@mamba2242]

This. Not to mention, Bron and AD now have a combined age of 71 years old. How is this the future of the team? Time to move on. Don’t commit 70% of your cap space to these two. Trade em both, get some young talent and hire Hurley to build up a team the proper way.

[@trevondash811]

[@dmitryowens]

Sounds like another coach who'll win 40 to 50 games at best, not make it past the second round and then get fired after a year or two. I highly doubt he'll even do as good as Darvin did in his first season. JJ probably wouldn't do any better, but at least his style of coaching would be more interesting and exciting.

[@jakevelten]

I know people that officiate in the league. They have never and likely will never restrict officials based upon certain players. It adds unneeded complexity to scheduling and would give credence to lying pieces of human refuse, such as Chris Paul.
