Remember that narrative about how the Lakers hadn’t already hired JJ Redick because the NBA and league partners didn’t want anything pulling focus from the Finals? Man, I’m glad we dodged that bullet!!! AK – 3:42 PM

On today’s show…
Our first Nick Nurse show of the offseason? Lot of coaching rumors floating around with Hurley, Borrego, Redick, etc. So we’re looking at Nurse’s Y1 and what he has to do to push Philly forward.
Come hang out at 2:30:

Dan Hurley will stay at UConn, turns down big-money offer to coach Lakers
This brings the Lakers back to the Redick/Borrego/someone else question. Don’t expect a quick answer to that.

I completely understand the pursuit of Dan Hurley. Now that he’s gone, if I’m the Lakers, I’m pivoting to James Borrego over JJ Redick. – 1:54 PM

Now comes the awkward dance for the Lakers of obtaining JJ Redick as their next head coach following the failed pursuit of Dan Hurley.

The Dallas Mavericks were defeated 107-89 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals by the Boston Celtics. Although it is not time to panic, Dallas needs to make some adjustments. JJ Redick, who knows the game of basketball well and is even a current head coaching candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers, revealed an adjustment he believes the Mavs need to make for Game 2, via his YouTube channel. -via Clutch Points / June 7, 2024
Team and league sources cautioned that the coaching search remains far from settled. Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka and governor Jeanie Buss will interview Hurley in a more formal manner on Friday, league sources confirmed. There is still a chance the 51-year-old will work out a new contract with Connecticut and remain college basketball’s top coach. Hurley signed a six-year, $32.1 million deal with Connecticut after the 2023 championship season. His buyout to join the NBA would be roughly $1.9 million. Redick, considered the front-runner for weeks, remains a viable candidate, according to league sources. -via New York Times / June 7, 2024
Hurley has been at the forefront of the Lakers’ search from the beginning of the process, even while the organization has done its due diligence interviewing several other candidates, sources said. Only New Orleans assistant James Borrego had two in-person interviews in Los Angeles, sources said. Pelinka and Buss formally discussed with Hurley their vision of marrying his dominant program — built upon both his tactical acumen and elite player development — with the storied Lakers’ brand. -via ESPN / June 9, 2024
