Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5096592, member: 966"] Do you attribute any of that lowball offer to an arrogance/sense of entitlement on the part of the Lakers? Like, 'Hey, we're the premiere destination. You should leap at the opportunity. You're going to get top 6 money, and you haven't proven anything in the pros yet.' On that front, it's not an absurd offer. They would have been bidding against themselves, knowing UConn wasn't matching what they were offering. I wonder if there was a counter by Hurley's team that was rejected. Seems odd to lowball a 'first choice' when your second choice is a podcaster with zero coaching experience. Maybe they do have positive feelers out with Jay Wright? Also, do you not believe Hurley could adapt? Personality/coaching style? People do mature and evolve—sometimes... Is he that much of a lunatic/"mental defective?" [/QUOTE]
