Lakers are starting to catch heat for going cheap with their offer to Hurley.

Funny how incompetent our offense was in pivotal moments this season and yet Borrego is “rumored” to be coveted by multiple teams. Is this an indictment on Willie and the league is saying Willie is wholly responsible for the incompetence?


It could also be an indictment of GMs across the league. Lots of groupthink on coaches and tons of coaches failing 2nd and 3rd time's because of it.

Yes, apparently they only offered a couple hundred thousand more a year than Kentucky offered which he already turned down. They thought he might "jump at the chance" to coach a team like the Lakers instead.

if they would have gone to 80ish I bet he takes it.

JJ should take whatever job he can get to get his foot in the door. I do not think he will be a candidate in high demand elsewhere.

They have their coach in all but name. The job description they are hiring for is “scapegoat for ‘GOAT’”.

Going to suck dick when the pels lose Borrego.

I don't trust willie to bring in another coach of his caliber.

Gonna be even worse if he goes to the Cavs as I am not sure he would want BI (who it was speculated refused to run his offense as Borrego wanted).

They didn't really want him. They just wanted it to look like they wanted him. I'll go a step further and guess the leak of the offer number to Woj came from Hurley's side in order to set his price for the future.

Yeah, they are now going to hire someone cheaper and claim they really tried to pay for their guy.

Inside the Pelicans, there is a sense of resignation that Borrego will not be back in New Orleans next season.


Thats from Clark’s article today- seems like Pels are expecting Borrego to leave. That sucks.

Yeah I see that! LOL
The Lakers are a complete shite show and I'm loving every minute of it. That draft pick in 25' is looking better day by day.

There's a reality where lebron leaves and if so, it'll shake the core. You have to move on from AD and commit to a rebuild.

Imagine getting flagg.
