The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a four-year contract with JJ Redick to make him the franchise's next coach, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
How far the mighty can fall.
Dan Hurley said Thursday his decision to reject a six-year, $70 million offer to coach the Los Angeles Lakers was not a «leverage play» because he'd already agreed to the terms of a new contract with UConn.
JJ Redick will formally interview for the Los Angeles Lakers' coaching job this weekend, and a strong performance is expected to move him to the forefront of the franchise's search, sources told ESPN.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported last week that the Los Angeles Lakers had targeted UConn's Dan Hurley as their next head coach, two months after he'd led the Huskies to their second consecutive national title and sixth championship in 25 years. Twenty years ago, the Lakers made a similar pitch to Mike Krzyzewski, who rejected the offer to remain at Duke. The franchise received the same answer from Hurley on Monday.
Dan Hurley met with his UConn players on Thursday morning and told them he is in talks with the Los Angeles Lakers about their head coaching vacancy, a source told FOX Sports. Hurley's plan is to have his mind made up on the decision weighing on him in the near future, a source said.
UConn coach Dan Hurley told ESPN that the Los Angeles Lakers made a «compelling case» and presented a «compelling vision» for him to become the franchise's next coach but that he loves what he has built at two-time defending national champion UConn — and plans to make a decision on his future on Monday.
