**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I'm struggling to think of successful NCAA to NBA coaches.
The only references I'm thinking of are Cal Coaching the Nets and Billy D, currently coaching the Bulls.
Neither are good examples.

Larry Brown: Kansas to San Antonio to Philly (Finals appearance) to DET (NBA title)

I like the idea that they don't just want hurley but they want his program too. Something for beyond the bron era, regardless lebron stays or not I really want this happen.

The slate of coaches names post-Phil has been comically long even though we got 2020.

The same representative who told the Lakers front office that Bron was sitting court side at a Cavs playoff game as as guest of their owner. When Bron could have done it himself. Please.

What does one have to do with the other?

lol

 

[noblekane]

Would look super weird to fail and go back to JJ

would be typical lolakers

 

[noblekane]

Imagine a 10 year $100M deal

cp if a laker coach gets 10 mill a year

 

[reconic supreme]

Andrea Hurley come on down.

We got the best Botox in the entire world!

Imagine a 10 year $100M deal

Talk about stability and creating a culture….

Lakers have that kind of money? This team is broke as hell. The way they move, they act so poor

Finally feel some positivity for the franchise moving forward if they secure this dude.

if he just signed a new contract with uconn how does that work out if he accepts the lakers job?

 

[jab step]

If that bum Dlo is starting for the Lakers, I'm not going to really watch too much. If he's coming off the bench I'd be fine with it. Ideally off this team.

No more losers on this team. Please. Gabe better get healthy. Rather have him starting than Dlo.

 

[jab step]

if he just signed a new contract with uconn how does that work out if he accepts the lakers job?

He has like a 1.9 or 2 million dollar buyout from my understanding.

I'm gonna throw up.
Lukyrie, plz.

 

[darthska]

I want them to interview him right now. I want them to be disgusted and let him know, "If you come on, what you're watching right here is disgusting to you. First off, that should be us, that should be you. And second, BuckFoston."

 

[CP1708]

Was JJ a piece of the puzzle? Like he's been leaked the whole time only to distract their true move?

If that's the case, I'd be kinda impressed.

The more the season went by, it’s clear that slowly and slowly AD and Bron lost confidence and faith in Darvin Ham.

We can even say they lost respect for him, not only was Ham unproven as a HEAD Coach, he didn’t know how to develop players like Christie, Hayes, JHS, Lewis, Rui, etc, and Bron/AD knew it. To make matters worse, Ham wasted such a healthy and productive season from Bron and AD.

Meanwhile Hurley is arguably the best head coach in college basketball coming off back to back championships. This alone should immediately command Bron and AD’s respect. In other words, Dan the Man is a proven winning coach. How that translates to NBA level coaching is another conversation.

But give Hurley the aforementioned young role players + Bronny and there’s a much better chance Hurley succeeds where Ham failed.

I’m 1000% on board with Hurley and what ever staff he assembles.
