Lakers to make ‘massive’ offer to UConn coach role

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly making a bold move in their coaching staff, with plans to offer UConn’s Dan Hurley a significant, long-term contract to lead the team, as per ESPN reports.

Hurley, who has achieved notable success with the Huskies, including consecutive NCAA championships, has expressed his aspiration to coach in the NBA, making him a desirable candidate for the Lakers.

LeBron James has publicly praised Hurley’s coaching prowess, adding further weight to the potential recruitment.

While the Lakers have recently parted ways with former coach Darvin Ham, who led the team to the Western Conference finals, the franchise is eager to revamp and reposition itself for future success.

Despite Hurley’s current commitments with UConn, discussions with the Lakers indicate a potential shift in his career trajectory. However, for now, it seems to be business as usual for the Huskies as they await further developments.
