He tweeted yesterday he accepted the Lakers job.

Don't see that anywhere. Looks like he's gone since he's meeting with them today in Los Angeles, but I haven't seen anything anywhere saying he's accepted the job, much less from him directly.

Yeah nothing yet. Craw may have seen a burner account which is fair.
But ultimately I think Hurley takes the job. Likely today or tomm

It'll be funny to see Lebron quit on a guy who actually tries to coach him mid season. Taking that job while Lebron is in the picture is just baffling. I do not get why he would do it, no chance he lasts his full contract as long as Lebron is in LA.

How many coaches actually get their full contract now anyways. Maybe 5 coaches. You can be 30-13 on the way to the playoffs and get fired at all star break.

He gone.

Hurley is on record saying he hates the direction college basketball and college sports in general are going.

We don't have enough money left to buy even mid-tier players for next year which is the main reason you haven't seen us add anyone else and probably won't. We certainly don't have enough to buy anyone of value off UConn's roster.

---

I mean, RayJ didn't sign with us until June last year.

---

I mean, that's a good example and very appropriate because I'm certain we spent the same money on Nunn last year in May as we did for both Roach and Omier this year (not to mention Celestine also). So we still have plenty of money to sign an all conference guy like RayJ in June! Damn I wish everyone was as bright as you!

Does anyone know what UConn’s version of Mi Casita is?

You think there's a Mi Casita like place in Storrs? Best option is a place that makes decent margaritas.

Dang!! Kinda shocked he turned it down knowing he has NBA aspirations

Good for him. He has a good thing going.

Rumor is they're gonna talk to Jay Wright now.

Larry Brown.

Book it.

They're still negotiating over his budget for overalls.

Nothing surprising here, Lakers are a coach killer, why would you leave the top of your profession for the bottom.

Lakers are a bad organization. They lowballed Hurley and without money and organization control, it's an unattractive job.

I think this was a half-hearted effort to make a splash hire so they can turn around and hire JJ Redick at a discount price. They can tell their fanbase that they really tried for the best option, so we moved on to our second choice when all along he was the guy they were going to hire.

If a reported $12mm a year was half-hearted, I would be interested in what their sincere offer would be...

11.6 mil a year..but who's counting.

Would have been ONLY 6th highest paid.

Kerr 17.5
Pop 16 .0
Spoelstra 15
Monty Williams (?!) 13
Budenholzer 12

Does Williams send a card and flowers to the Suns owners on the anniversary of their firing him, enabling him to get $78.5 mm... wherein the Pistons lose a record 28 straight this year?

It won't be TexMex. It will be Italian, Greek, or Irish food. We are talking about the northeast. I doubt many people up there know a lot about TexMex. Their idea of Mexican food is probably Taco Bell! Yes, I'm joking.

Some pretty clever responses here:

I lived in downtown Boston. You're not lying. BBQ? Terrible. Mexican? Forget about it. I was less than 1/4 mile from the North End so I ate my fair share of Italian food, so si didn't miss it too much.

I've only been to some places in the northeast & it's been a long time, but it was my experience. I also have heard stories from others.

Ironically, I had decent TexMex in Paris, France in 2000! Still, not the same as what we have here but I was surprised.

My guess is Hurley says thanks-no thanks and Redick ends up with it.

Well boys, I will take the W on this one.

ESPN Sources: JJ Redick has agreed on a four-year contract to become the next coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. Rob Pelinka offered job this morning and Redick’s started working on a staff to surround himself with experience. pic.twitter.com/G66eVFRALp

Not sure there is any basketball sense in that organization, but this hire surely doesn't reveal any.

No coaching experience at all at any level.

For this job, he needs to know how Lebron likes his Mtn Dew.

He gives good head though.
