Los Angeles Lakers (DR)
Despite serious interest from the Lakers, Dan Hurley refused their offer this Monday, leaving the California franchise without a coach for the moment.
The front office is accused of ruining his chances, with LeBron James must have had enough.
This may be a turning point in the recent history of the Lakers. After the firing of Darvin Ham, requested for months by fans, the Angelinos have set their sights on JJ Redick.
A simple smoke screen according to some journalists since the real target was Dan Hurley, double champion with UConn in the NCAA.
A profile very appreciated by NBA players and fans… who ultimately refused to come.
How to summarize this simply?
Let’s just say the incompetence of Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss strikes again.
Kentucky was even interested in Hurley with an offer of around 11 million per year.
That of the Lakers? 11.6. The front office was convinced that the coach would be seduced by the prospect of joining an organization like the Purple and Gold in the NBA. Without success.
A departure in sight for the Lakers?
To bring in Hurley, you probably needed an impossible-to-refuse offer that the Lakers could provide.
The franchise chose to limit its offensive, convinced that the prestigious name of the organization would do the rest.
Missed. The repercussions will be serious, since according to insider Anthony Irwin, LeBron James could potentially leave now.
Just speculation here, but this is the first time all offseason where I think LeBron might leave.
James really liked Hurley’s profile, but after the Alex Caruso or Tyronn Lue series, the front office made the choice of the economy when recruiting.
Also note that James Borrego is favored to join Cleveland and JJ Redick isn’t too interested in coming over anymore. A fiasco until the end and a resignation requested by the fans for Pelinka and Buss.
LeBron James ready to leave the Lakers? How can you blame him if that’s the case? The franchise seems run by amateurs who rely too much on the Angelinos’ past for the future. Change is necessary.
