It'd be the biggest waste of money in modern sports in my opinion.

COULD they win a title eventually with Hurley? Yes, but they could also win one eventually with Tom Thibodeau.

And it's not like the Lakers need help to market their team.

That's western capitalism though. Throw a ton of money at people and roll the dice.
some good points.....Sure, coaching matters, but players matter far more. Though I guess need a coach where player would be willing to go play for. Is that Hurley?

All head coaches have that first job. It's about the individual hire, not just the experience level.
Exactly...if I had to choose I think I'd sake Hurley over JJ but no reason to think JJ could not do as well as many of the retread options.

coach k,Dean Smith both turned the NBA down.i bet hurley does too

I'm always leery about CBB coaches that make the jump to the NBA with no experience in the league. Most don't work out.

He doesn't have NBA experience, but he's a great college coach, he's known for developing players and apparently Lebron really likes his offense.

I'd much rather they hire him than Reddick

Isn't today the day Hurley's meeting with the Lakers?

Still only had experience as a college coach pre bench coach and at much smaller school than Hurley

At least JM had some NBA coaching experience before he was name Celtics HC.

Like I just mentioned to someone else I'm always leery of CBB coaches that make the jump to the NBA.

NFL too.look at saban/spurrier.

Saban & Spurrier obviously weren't good in the NFL. Then you gotta guy like Jimmy Johnson that had great success jumping from CFB to the NFL.

I think JJ could work, but I'll easily take Hurley if he's interested over any of the available coaches this hiring cycle. If Lue and Kidd were actually available, then the discussion starts.

I do like Lue. Kidd impressive this year for sure, but would have seriously hesitated on him earlier.

I might even take a shot on Hurley over last years overrated name retreads (Nurse, Bud and Doc...well, for sure over Doc).
