The Los Angeles Lakers are shaking up their coaching search, setting their sights on Dan Hurley, the mastermind behind UConn's back-to-back NCAA championships . According to reports, the franchise has reached out to Hurley as they hunt for a new leader after parting ways with Darvin Ham last month.
Hurley, who turned UConn into a college basketball powerhouse, could bring his championship DNA to the NBA . His current contract includes a $1.875 million buyout clause for NBA moves—way cheaper than the college exit fee. Talk about a potential steal!
But he’s not the only name in the mix: ESPN analyst JJ Reddick and Pelicans’ coach James Borrego are also contenders. Will the Lakers gamble on Hurley’s winning streak, or play it safe with NBA experience? Stay tuned!
