As the Los Angeles Lakers pursue UConn’s Dan Hurley for their head coaching position, details have emerged regarding the potential buyout the Lakers would need to settle with Connecticut.
Evan Sidery’s tweet unveiled the specifics: “Dan Hurley’s contract with UConn shows only a $1.875 million buyout, if he left for an NBA team. If Hurley ends up leaving for Los Angeles, the Lakers would pay UConn that amount.”
Reportedly, Hurley is on the verge of deciding on the Lakers’ offer to helm the team, indicating an imminent resolution.
Rob Pelinka and Jeanie Buss, pivotal figures for the Lakers, are elaborating their vision to Hurley, emphasizing a long-term commitment and presenting him with a substantial contract.
While Hurley has expressed ambitions to coach in the NBA, the allure of leading a storied franchise like the Lakers presents a compelling opportunity for the seasoned college coach.
Stay tuned for further updates as Dan Hurley’s decision regarding the Lakers’ offer unfolds, potentially reshaping the landscape of NBA coaching dynamics.
