A couple days after Dan Hurley turned down the Lakers, the news around the NBA is still very much centered around the fact that Dan Hurley turned down the Lakers. Everything about the story, from how it has been covered and who broke what (i.e. Woj vs. Shams) to big questions about the Lakers brand, the competence of the Lakers front office and where they turn from here -- all of it is dominating the proverbial discourse.
At least the Lakers are pushing the Celtics off the front page.
But what exactly happened, here? To get a better feel from how this whole thing played across the country, we spoke with Mark Zanetto, host of Locked On UConn. He gave his perspective on whether Hurley was genuinely interested in the Lakers job, or whether he was just playing the team to leverage a bigger deal from the University. How did this process begin? Who was contacted first? Did the Lakers come with the right offer?
Answering these questions matters, because the Lakers still have to get themselves a coach, and therefore still need to be thinking strategically about who they want and how they'll get him, even while absorbing a run of negative press, slings and arrows (some of which is delivered with a palpable sense of joy). But the Lakers have a process to finish, and not much time to get it done if they want to weave this new voice into their pre-Draft/pre-free agency prep.
How much could the Hurley episode impact their ability to get the next guy, including JJ Redick, if he's the next option?
