Woah. Dan Hurley in talks with Lakers. More players in the portal this late?

Sources - Lakers preparing massive offer to UConn's Dan Hurley - ESPN

The Los Angeles Lakers are targeting UConn's Dan Hurley as the franchise's next coach and are preparing a massive, long-term contract offer to bring the back-to-back NCAA national champion to the NBA, sources told ESPN.

If this happens, and our NIL is holding steady, I think we’d have a really good chance to pull a player in from one of the impacted teams once all the coaching dominoes settle.

I would doubt it too if it wasn’t being reported by ESPN. It must have legs.

Woj doesn’t put these reports out there lightly. If he’s reporting, it’s done.

Not done until contract is signed but agree

He reported that they are in talks. And offering a huge number. No where saying

LOL--I think we are safe with KY for now.

99.999% KY is safe… but I get your sentiment. The pope pick still seems unexpect
