The media are laughably clueless with Ham. They never screemed at the screen for him to call a timeout, to create defensive tactics that shut down the 3 ball, to start Rui over Prince, to play Max Christie more than 1-2 minutes a game, and a dozen other things that were painfully obvious to both us and the players. How many coaches have players changing tactics because the coach is so clueless that they have no other choice if they want to win!
These guys could talk about this for the next 13 hours, and it would still be speculative talk. Here's the truth, NOBODY KNOWS, but Hurley and his wife.
Stephen A doesn’t follow the lakers as much as laker fans to know the coaching flaws of Mr. Ham. The Lakers went to the western conference finals due to the talents of the Lakers more than coaching…
if they want hurley, they should try to convince jj to be an assistant. best of both worlds? gives jj the experience he lacks for a resume and he still gets to be in a major market without having to be the scapegoat. lakers can still benefit from his player experience and knowledge. he'll then be primed for coach anywhere else.
@@20Schmidt yes I believe he will and that will be the deal breaker...if he doesn't get it...he will turn the job down...but I believe they will let him have it..a first in Laker History
Why doesn't anyone talk about the possibility that the Lakers use Hurley as leverage against JJ Redick? He only now surfaces as a candidate after it looked like it would be JJ. Maybe JJ was asking for more salary and years than the Lakers want to offer
@@MrVenom973 I'm not saying he is but I can imagine he will given the traps of the Lakers job. He seems more than happy not to take the job if it's not on his terms
Why does this guy keep acting like Darvin ham was a good coach, that conference finals was Lebron, and ad some games, I can promise you he won’t get another head coach job lol
What I am so focused on is the concerted effort by Woj and SAS to shift the narrative that the lakers ALWAYS wanted Hurley. It’s like Jeanie told them to go out there and get that message across
I think the Lakers WANTED a number of coaches Budz wanted PHX over LeBron and JJ might just want to wait until his commentating duties are over but lets be real the LOOK here is that nobody wants this Lakers job
Now it's The National Basketball Association? I get Wojnis the source of information when it comes to coaching in the NBA, and the pressure that comes with it. The Lakers are up there, but the Yankees, and especially the Cowboys are franchises that have large fan bases along with high expectations year after year. So IMO Woj should stick to the NBA about coaching the Lakers.
My whole thought process is that he's gonna stay with Uconn. I think he fully would love to take the Lakers job and Lakers will offer him a ton of money and chance to be coach of storied most popular NBA franchise etc and all that but he's close with his family and his wife likes the east coast and so does his parents who he's close too. If they don't want to move it'll be very hard for me to see him prying them away from that.
Steven shut up if you don't know what is happening, i thought you said lebron James was running the Lakers that he fired his coach and want his friend to be the coach
Hurley is no sure thing. I’ve watched him closer than anyone. Haven’t missed a single press conference after every game in four years. He doesn’t handle adversity all that well. Building culture is is much more applicable to kids just outta high school. In the pro’s, many players have their own attitudes and it ain’t gonna change
We need to rebuild and actually trust our players instead of chasing washed up ppl, we always won through the draft! Ppl forget, and then sign a star player.
Y'all gotta be simple minded to believe this, its nothing more than a smoke screen. It will be JJ Reddick because thats what LeGM wants. They're gonna draft Bronny and the circus that is the Lakers will continue for the 2024 season. Go get your popcorn............its entertainment at this point, not winning!
Hurley should consider jack mccloskeys career. Success to him came through roster building in Detroit . Not in coaching the blazers or Lakers. To date DH has had control over two of the legs of the 3 legged stool. Ie coaching and roster development. Moving to Lakers from college he gives up the more important latter. And even getting veto power in the draft trade roster development does not guarantee success. See, Pitino and celtics. The player "will if I want to league " is the third leg. And about building confidence and trust with TALENT . BRAD STEPHENS GOT OUT OF COACHING .

@@spencer9276lakers fan huh? Lol be honest that roster is decent but its not a NBA championship roster stop it. U wanna run it back go ahead but Bron deserves better
They need both. Having a good coach can get a culture going that will give the ownership and idea of what kind of players the coach needs to make this team successful
Once again LeBron needs a coach yet nobody with an established resume wants the job. This isn't about who the Lakers WANT its about who will take the job. Anyone?
Lebron worked very well with Spoelstra and Hurley could be just as good if not better. Lakers are a good team they’ve just had terrible coaching and players like D’Angelo Russell underperforming in Che playoffs that made them lose all the close games to Denver. With a decent roster turner over and adding Hurley, Lakers can very dangerous even with lebron turning 40.
Yeah him and other defending Ham only talk about oh his team made it to the west finals just last year. Watch him!!! Don’t watch the results. David Blatt took his team to the finals and next season was first in the east half way through the season and got fired and no team ever even interviewed him for a job again. Because people watch and know it wasn’t because of him they were successful. Ham wasn’t good and you will see no other team will hire Ham again

I wouldn't want the job of being the Lakers HC the average coach isn't being long-term HC last coach to do so was Phil Jackson held longest tenure as Lakers HC. The biggest issue is Rob Palinka has been the worst GM for the Lakers at least Jerry Buss was the better the GM than that even when the Lakers had Mitch Kupchak as an GM he made good moves to improve this team, Jennie Buss and Rob together don't function well as GM to make this team competitive enough.
Stephen A. Imma need you to stop talking about the fucking lakers my guy. It abundantly clear that you didn't watch many Lakers' games this last season cuz if you did you would not be defend Darvin Scam as much as you have been. Darvin was a nice guy but lets be honest the man couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag, the only reason the dude has a winning record as a coach is because of the trade the lakers made to get Westbrook tf outta Lakerland, LeBron James at 39 years old is unbelievably good still and Anthony Davis is a defensive god. If he didn't have the two superstar caliber players and the good role players then that western conference finals appearance would have never happened, and that's Darvin's crowning moment as a coach losing in the western conference finals. I can't wait for Darvin to get another job as a coach somewhere else so you people in the basketball media can finally open your damn eyes and realize he's not a good coach
Who cares? I'm so tired of hearing about the Lakers and their annual search for relevance. They could have had Ty Lue but weren't smart enough to figure out that he was a good coach. Now they wander around in stumblebum city more desperate by the moment. Good job Lakers.

Stephen A you clearly didnt watch lakers games if you defend ham. Stop talking about things you dont know about!
The media are laughably clueless with Ham.

Exactly! Ham was not a good coach but the media defends him for whatever reason
Stephen A is being a black man defending another, and theres coaches that have done worse than Ham, lets be serious here
Ham didn't know X&O couldn't coach to save his life
Stephen A -> Clueless Again! Ham was a weak coach without any doubts.
These guys could talk about this for the next 13 hours, and it would still be speculative talk. Here's the truth, NOBODY KNOWS, but Hurley and his wife.
Yep! And you are assuming they are firm in the decision. These things are harder than people realize.
Yup and espn will look dumb for all this unnecessary coverage for an unknown coach.
“There’s a real possibility!! “ 🤡
And that little rat Luke Murray. He knows
Exactly👍
Stephen A doesn’t follow the lakers as much as laker fans to know the coaching flaws of Mr. Ham. The Lakers went to the western conference finals due to the talents of the Lakers more than coaching…
How is JJ a legitimate contender? Never been a coach before. Why no discussion of Mark Jackson? He is the most qualified among the available coaches
Last year it was Darvin 🍔 and D-Low holding the Lakers back, this year D-Low showed up in 3 games against Denver, so it was just Darvin 🍔
if they want hurley, they should try to convince jj to be an assistant. best of both worlds? gives jj the experience he lacks for a resume and he still gets to be in a major market without having to be the scapegoat. lakers can still benefit from his player experience and knowledge. he'll then be primed for coach anywhere else.
Great Idea
I’d say that and add rondo in there
Hurley will want his own people in..
@@20Schmidt yes I believe he will and that will be the deal breaker...if he doesn't get it...he will turn the job down...but I believe they will let him have it..a first in Laker History
Bobby Hurley is gonna be one of the assistants. Gives him some family out there too
Ima just say this jj redick don’t deserve this job
Well it’s his job already so get used to it. This is just to make it look like the lakers tried to get someone better
Won’t matter who the coach is.. untill players change n or retire it’s a play in for the next couple of years
This situation is so weird
Why doesn't anyone talk about the possibility that the Lakers use Hurley as leverage against JJ Redick? He only now surfaces as a candidate after it looked like it would be JJ. Maybe JJ was asking for more salary and years than the Lakers want to offer
Oh please, Reddick isn't in the position to ask for a damn thing
@@MrVenom973 I'm not saying he is but I can imagine he will given the traps of the Lakers job. He seems more than happy not to take the job if it's not on his terms
WHEN STEPHEN A SMITH GETS FIRED FROM ESPN..IT WILL BE A CELEBRATION
More people are interested in who will be the next lakers coach than the nba finals lol. F boston
Why does this guy keep acting like Darvin ham was a good coach, that conference finals was Lebron, and ad some games, I can promise you he won’t get another head coach job lol
There literally compilation of him not being able to write a play 😂
It’s gotta be a 10 yr deal or something like that…
Hurley with LeBron James - seems a bad match. Hurley should wait until LeBron departs the LA Lakers.
What I am so focused on is the concerted effort by Woj and SAS to shift the narrative that the lakers ALWAYS wanted Hurley. It’s like Jeanie told them to go out there and get that message across
I think the Lakers WANTED a number of coaches Budz wanted PHX over LeBron and JJ might just want to wait until his commentating duties are over but lets be real the LOOK here is that nobody wants this Lakers job
Hurley hurley hurley that would be a win for Lakers
This man doesnt know squat about whats happening.Vague generalities masquerading as knowledge!
they are the PR dept. for the Lakers
It’s because they know it’s gonna look bad when they hire JJ. Now they can say “look we tried to get Hurley but couldn’t”
Now it's The National Basketball Association? I get Wojnis the source of information when it comes to coaching in the NBA, and the pressure that comes with it. The Lakers are up there, but the Yankees, and especially the Cowboys are franchises that have large fan bases along with high expectations year after year.

If they don't want to move it'll be very hard for me to see him prying them away from that.
I can’t believe first take spent the majority of their show on day 1 of the nba finals talking about this…I hope they don’t do this again Monday.
Dan Hurley head coach and JJ Redick assistant head coach
Steven shut up if you don't know what is happening, i thought you said lebron James was running the Lakers that he fired his coach and want his friend to be the coach
I think if its not hurley its reddick i feel its down to those 2
Dan Hurley should stay with UCONN and try to win 1-2 more titles. Once LeDiva leaves Lakers in two years-three years, then he should go to the Lakers.
If Lebron stays, Dan Hurley will be his 11th coach fired to make his GOAT case.
If Hurley doesn’t get hired and we hire JJ reddick im gonna be pissed off
Who's cares
@@stephenmillsaps4643 I care

The Lakers don't want Coach Hurley to tie Coach Wooden's three-peat record.
How can you not take an offer like that?
Wooden won 7 straight. 3 in a row would be impressive but not tying Wooden. 7 straight will never be touched.
Hurley should consider jack mccloskeys career. Success to him came through roster building in Detroit . Not in coaching the blazers or Lakers.

No way i would coach the lakers, if i could coach another team. To much scapegoating in the lakers organisation, and it is my team.
Laker fans should be more focused on the new Players they’re gonna get more than the Coach

If we're talking about future and a stable franchise, then we should definitely think coaching first.

IF JASON TATUM STARTS SHOOTING MID RANGE JUMPERS HE WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!
Yeah because he can't drive and finish at the rim for crap lol. Doesn't matter, because this is browns team and he will be mvp.

lakers should hired not hired j j redick as the lakers coach hired a coach for anthony davis not lebron james
A New Jersey guy whose loud and unapologetic.Talk about a bad fit with slick L.A. phonies.
Wrong move. You want Bron as your Boss?
we don't know, maybe he's going out. things can happens
GO & WATCH TRAVIS & SLIWA THEY ARE LIVE NOT ABOUT THE DECISION OF HURLEY NOT TO TAKE THE COACHING JOB OF THE LAKERS
Ya this is old. This was Friday but got 45min ago bottom. Clickbait
