[Woj] 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.

    I knew it.
    He wouldn’t make it such a big deal if he was coming to the Lakers.

    What a dick

  2. thedoctor0918

  7. Oscar_322418

    All of this just to end up with JJ fucking pathetic

  8. AirBishop

    What a fucking attention whore. I genuinely believed this dude used us and never had legitimate intentions of joining us.

  9. bigball3r23

    It sucks but I’m not all that surprised. He is more of a college coach by how he acts and runs things. it just wouldn’t fit in the nba unless he changed a lot. Also UConn gonna give him a bag.

  10. Deep-Ferret-695

    Woj and him teamed up to get more money from UConn. Shams was right the whole time.

  11. Icy_Quit_7177

    Woj covered this too much. He’s a Laker opp. I knew he thought this was a good opportunity to shit on the Lakers.

  12. diamondisunbreakable

    BAH GAWD IS THAT JJ REDDICK’S MUSIC??!!

  13. BizzyHaze

    Like Kobe said, not everyone is cutout to be a Laker.

  14. Ray-Gamma

    Dude didn’t need to milk it publicly like that.

  15. jurassic_snark-

    What the fuck

    New lifelong enemy made

  16. StoneColdAM

    Embarrassing for the Lakers front office. Also now for sure seems like Woj just helped him gas this up to get a bigger payday at UConn or whatever. Bad journalism honestly. No way Shams was that far off. 

  17. Zammy512

    Props to the front office for trying; but what were those ridiculous $100 million dollar rumors?

    I can respect him chasing a 3peat as well. The NBA game will be there for him next year if he wants. Family keeping him on the east coast with a chance at college history. I hate it, but I can accept it.

  18. ChunkyMilkSubstance

    Watching UConn fail to 3peat is gonna be sick lol

  19. AgathaAllAlong

    Again the Lakers get leveraged in false pretenses to make a guy more money lol this guy

    well my day and week and perhaps year are ruined

  20. UnloadedBakedPotato

    Lmfao at all the people on here who thought Pelinka offered a $100 million contract just for it to come out he offered $30 million less

  21. I know it’s the Lakers and LeBron, and that makes a difference… but the $70M/6y offer is less than what Monty got from Detroit ($78.5M/6y)

  22. WLVTrojanMan

    What a terrible time to be a Lakers fan. This shit and Boston winning the title

  23. cole8055

    Sounds like he has to ask his wife’s permission to go to the bathroom

  24. ktran2804

    6 for 70 is a bad offer if they were being serious about getting him to leave UCONN. Jeanie cheaped out again.

  25. conwaythemachine

    So Jeanie was too cheap to offer 100 Million

  26. awibasedgod

    on the bright side we never have to see Fanta be used as a source again

    also fuck this Hurley guy, cowards shouldn’t be the head coach of the Lakers
