Nobody want that job it’s nothing but a headache 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Facts
Agreed time for bron an AD to leave
Because of Lebron !
Phil Jackson got the big money because he was sleeping with Jeanie Buss, Hurley is not sleeping with her so they low ball him.
You will take that job in a heartbeat. Stop the cap.
Mad respect for Hurley telling an entitled franchise “stop being cheap, and pay up.”
Entitled for a reason. Boys like you don’t understand being in the Lakers position is not easy. You be humble and mediocre.
Hurley wasn’t sleeping with Jeanie Buss like Phil Jackson was, that’s why Phil got the bag back then.
@@FailedNBAComissioner what you expect coming from someone that has the last name “Buss” they prioritize getting a chip n bussing lol.
70 million to deal with Bron ain’t enough baby!!!
@alex4863 even Dan Hurley said it was the money and they lowballed him and now this clown Perkins goes from blaming lebron to the front office after realizing Hurley said him and Bron were texting each other and it was the MONEY on why he dud nit take it. But thus clown won't apologize to Kebron bcuz he's a clown.
JEANNIE STOP LISTENING TO THE RAMBUS FAMILY
We need a new GM. Stop firing the coach and fire the person who keeps picking the wrong coach
owner n GM
They need to just start over completely from scratch new GM coach players
Then you would need to fire LeBron
Would laugh so hard if Lakers rehired Darvin Ham. Can just picture LeBron throwing at fit. 😭😭😭😭😭

They weren’t that far apart. Offer should have been 6 years, 80 million
Guess the Lakers are the ultimate dead horse because ESPN sure keeps on beating them.
Why aren't the Lakers considering Mark Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, or Sam Cassell??? Even some of the assistant coaches from Denver, OKC, Phoenix, Sacramento, NY, Orlando, Houston, and so forth!
Mark Jackson is like Colin K in the NFL. It has been agreed across the league that he will never be a head coach again. It’s unfortunate but it’s the reality.
If u wanna talk about the lakers, then talk about the fact that the Celtics will be ahead of them in all time titles
They’re the most popular team, with the most popular player. Quit whining about it and don’t watch if u hate it so much lol
YUP😂😂😂😂
Do do dat
Thank you lol
Lmao the Celtics have won 2 chips in the modern era 💀💀💀💀
Northern California is beautiful
There’s no way around it: it’s an incredibly bad look. The Lakers are one of the most storied teams not just in basketball, but in all of sports. It’s LA, it’s supposed to be the big time! In theory, it should be a coach’s dream to coach the Lakers. Instead, it’s a nightmare.
With all the internal drama they have in the organization - not keeping a coach for very long time, paying coaches who are not even there, two all star players (James and A. Davis) thinking they're the coach, a point guard who disappears faster than the X-Men's Nightcrawler on a consistent basis (D. Russell), and a star player who's trying to politic his son into the league when he's not even ready - who would want to coach there. Especially now with the state taking 50% of your salary and its already expensive to live over in California.
The Lakers have had more unsuccessful coaches than successful ones. That’s just the facts. People are glossing over the history. Coach consistency doesn’t automatically translate to success. Jerry Sloan coached Utah for 20 seasons and only had two finals appearances and no rings. Would you rather that or the Lakers who had 5 coaches in the same timeframe?
"the less you pay the less you may end up getting" 💯
Makes sense as to why Magic Johnson stepped down.
Magic's problem is that he's an attention seeking teenage girl, who CONSTANTLY had to be on Twitter/X.
What is Windy going to do when LBJ retires? Following him to his retirement home
Sports media will go broke once LeBron retires.
they will still talk about them just like they do brady it’s sick

@@scruffd0g193 naw. They will find someone else to force onto the public.
This is why LBj should be able to speak on any subject pertaining to basketball… it’s the MF NBA finals and y’all have to talk about him and his team for ratings!!!
Stop glazing lil bro
@@IknowMoreThanYou stop hating! Also stop using homosexual phrases when speaking to men.. doesn’t look good
Perk why you and SA taking away from Kyrie’s moment to talk about the Lakers and LeBron. You could have the is topic AFTER the finals
That’s not how news works. Hurley just spoke publicly about it so it’s pressing. Timely. No, it can’t wait. They spoke about Kyrie yesterday right after the game. See? Timely.
@@ellemarr7234 I was being sarcastic bc they knocked LeBron for talking about his ex teammate Kyrie during the finals
nah fr they don’t wanna bring that up😂
Stop it with this LA thing Stephen A. This notion that eveybody wants to live in LA is untrue.
Agreed. The man is comfortable where he is.
Agree but most athletes live in Malibu tho
if you have the money you either want to live there or have a place there
Especially someone from Connecticut
Poor irrelevant B! T€H. Your lil town has no resources and no one goes there.
Hurley literally said his wife wasn't having it in the same interview. Why is the media ignoring that? Just trying to pile on the Lakers.
She knows the clownshow that is the organization. Props to her saving her husband's career from Lebron.
@@jacobmcklowski4428That’s not why she said it. She said it because she didn’t want to move. Literally that’s what Hurley said. So why are you trying to make up a lie about it?
@@jamesjones6315 its not a lie, its the reason nobody wants the job. Lebron kills careers. Stop simping.
$70 M for 6 years in California after taxes, inflation rates, and the cost of living is a lowball offer from the Lakers. Hurley did a W move.
The finals game 4 is tonight and ESPN
Does what talk about LeBron so Originally
true but they did talk about the finals too lol Lespn.
The Finals are boring. It's over 🤡
This not a competitive finals, not worth talking about honestly
Duh the ratings are down
@@juanthompson8016 cry about it
SAS, most of us from NYC don’t like L.A.
Is SAS high? Northern California isn’t like New York! I live in sac and it was over 100 degrees this last week, it’s hella hot here, we just aren’t as rich as So Cal unless you go to the Bay Area
They said the same when they lost out on Ty Lue and Kawhi . And they still won a chip over the clipper despite the clippers making all the right moves
Lakers haven’t won a single conference finals game in Los Angeles since Kobe retired
Bubble chip doesn’t count

He wouldn't have flown out there if he wasn't considering the opportunity. Especially after UConn offered him a raise before the lakers interview
@@prodigy513 yep

SAS is not that good no more ! Time for a new front person!
Who do you have in mind for a new front person?
@@brianturner3955max kellerman
The lakers were falling on their face without Phil Jackson?????? Windy, they only went one season without Phil and Rudy T was their coach and almost died. Kobe was injured the entire year. Phil came back the next year and they barely made the playoffs. So saying they were “falling on their face without Phil” is completely false. That was you falling on your face due to your weight.
How many coaches are they still paying?
I'm actually wondering the same thing...
I miss jwill on first take can’t have people who speak logical on FT anymore
But bron make everything about him ? Look at y’all!! Nobody was considering Hurley until the lakers news… Now it’s they blew it?
He did it because his agent advised him to..... There's nothing much nothing more to that story buddy at the end of the day the Lakers actually got a Blessing by not signing him no the Lakers can be the most unstoppable shooting team by hiring a coach who's one of the best 3-point shooters and was coached by Coach k from Duke what more do we have to say about that Perkins
Plus you forgetting agent fees!! Ngl I agree he probably realised he’ll take home less than half that contract no wayy!!! 😂
Rob is pimpin the lakers bruh he hasn’t done anything good in the last 3 years
It's LeBron not Rob
@@michaeljohnson2000 nah it's Rob, not LeBron
@MrCamcam28 no it's lebron
@@wangtang12 nah it’s Rob
@MrCamcam28 no it's lebron
If I'm correct, the Lakers still have to pay their old coaches contracts. So not only would they have made Hurley the 4th highest paid coach in the league, they are still having to pay Ham for another couple of years and might even still be paying Frank Vogel. This team is spending more money on coach's than any other team in the league. It's just not going to all one coach.
Nobody is bringing that up. Plus, the Lakers aren’t Jeanie’s toy on the side. It’s the main source of income unlike the other owners who made their money in other industries.
I’m not even a Lakers fan but the late Dr. Jerry Buss understood 1 thing better than anyone…you have to pay for talent!
College coaches dont always do well in the NBA.. I dont think that he can gt the respect from the players that he gets on the college level..
8:32 Molly and Windy blinking like crazy
Never seen a team so obsessed with a 40yr old stat padding Narc

You’re obsessed with him. You watch him and comment about him
He’s the reason the team fucked up now 😂
@@CatoProduction I told no lies
@@itsmarksonslim4992yes you did loser
How many times can they spin this same topic? Jesus
😂😂😂
The best decision ANY human being has ever made in the history of making decisions.
Best thing like ever happen, Dan didn't take the job. So the Lakers are better off without him. NO Big DEAL.
Hurley is basically saying the lakers are being cheap, that’s the reason I turned them down, offer the man 18-20 million a year on a 5 year contract and he would be the lakers coach right now
Yet still have prime Mark Jackson, who is more than qualified for the Lakers and board don’t want him to be hired
You would’ve thought the lakers were in the finals the way yall talk about them
This guys talks about California like it’s the year 2000🤣🤣
Jeff Van Gundy would be a heck of a coach. Intense, smart, no-nonsense coach the Lakers desperately need right now to instill some discipline and winning culture back to Lakers land.
No Perk wrong again. The right coach will do it for the challenge and not primarily for money. Hurley wanted to remain a big fish in a small pond, we respect that. Darvin Ham deserved to get fired and I would fire him again. You cannot lose to Denver the ways in which the Lakers did, and the coach gets to remain.
We need him to be the coach of the Brooklynn Nets
Nobody wants to be LeBalcos scapegoat 😂😂😂😂
His agent is the agent for other coaches.. keep that in mind 😂
Everybody dancing around the reason the Lakers can't find a coach. The problem is Legone Brains. Any team he's on, when they lose the coach is who goes. He demands trades, calls plays... Why do the Lakers even bother with a GM and HC? Legone Brains can do it all.
I’m pretty sure Molly brought up the taxes explanation first. SAS in the beginning was eluding to Hurley making a mistake. Now he’s hijacked Mollys take as his own. Hence the show name “First Take” At least credit Molly.
Did SAS fully take credit for realizing the tax situation after Molly brought that up a few episodes ago where SAS admitted he didn't even think about that? Outrageous.
Would any other team be talked about this much over their coach drama?
My dream would be for the Buss family to sell the Lakers and one of those Saudi Arabian families buys the Lakers similarly to PSG and Manchester City and start investing their money on the Lakers 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Phil Jackson got the bag because he was sleeping with Jeanie Buss. Hurley is not so he got a lowball offer.
Phil had 6 rings when he arrived in LA. Plus, they knew that they just needed a coach and a few tweaks to the roster. That isn’t the case this time. Hurley was being considered for what he could do long term not simply next season.
Perk I'm just shaking my head Lakers for life
The Lakers need to clean house. Jeannie won't sell the team but letting LeGM have his way has borderline crippled their future. Also, GM Rob needs to be fired and thrown in the trash twice for good measure.
Everyone is laughing at the lakers right now and I love it. 😅
He has a greater thing happening in college he said why would he leave his current team for the NBA? Lakers aren't looking bad at all. Simply he said No
The way he talks to college players he wouldn’t be able to talk to the players in the NBA like that.
the real L is for Dan Hurley, $70M for coaching basketball?? worst thing can happen is they fire him! and still get paid!
Are you crazy? The taxes alone would be half, where he at paying him more after taxes
People really scared to call out Jeanie Buss for her materialistic approach by overpaying a 39 year old LeBron so she can make more money off his name. She dont care about winning a ring she all about getting richer
Yall still talking about this? It’s not even that serious lmao
Well we're seeing one of the reasons nobody wants the job. The finals are actively happening, the lakers haven't played since may and they have been a topic of discussion everyday, literally every day. That's a scrutiny nobody wants. Great job by the way from the network that had an issue with lebron saying words at the beginning of the finals but has spent this entire series talking about him and the lakers
Get rid of Bron he is the problem we all know this
100% chance molly had a white jacket and spilled coffee on it. Girl looking like she going clubbin
Ultimately the Lakers were TIGHT with the offer
Where's Adrian Griffin?
2:55 killing perk with his lifetime stats
It's Rob PelinkA...lol They never wanted Hurley. It's JJ Reddicks' job!!
He said there probably is a number, but he just don’t know what is. But he definitely know what it AIN”T!!! 😂
If he was seriously considering the Lakers he would have countered with his number. Based on the reports, he never countered. So, how can it be said that he was ever serious about the Lakers?
At this point they should just let LeBron coach the team n play in it too 😂
Lie: most of the teams that have won in the last 5 years have changed coaches
It’s becoming the norm.
Lakers have had success with all the dysfunction that they've had. Back to back playoff appearances, a championship. What are we talking about here. I know people expect more from the Lakers, but the team just doesn't have enough. The Lakers are fine. We're over here acting like they have been horrific and have missed the playoffs the last few years. Lakers don't need Hurley, lol. Stephen A won't stop hating. He's forcing everyone on his show to hate on them as well.
Dear people that complain about ESPN talking about the Lakers. The fact you comment and interact on the videos comment section just fuels up ESPN since for them you're 'engaged' and is all a numbers game and an algorithm thing, so, despite your opinion being valuable (to you mostly cause no one really care, sad but true, same with mine), you're giving ESPN what they want. The 2 or 3 guys that back you up and agree with you in the comment section are not nearly enough to keep ESPN from talking about LAL. So instead, although it might sound disrespectful, keep your mouth shut, and keep moving along to another video so that way maybe, they will stop or, at the very least, you won't be seeing the videos and being annoyed by them. Enjoy fam!
Lakers acting like a prestige organization while being a dumpster fire with ownership and upper management is the main reason this team will never see the promised land until they are sold and/or hire an actual top notch upper management group that is assembled that knows what they're doing. Obviously, that is not what is currently there.
Nothing enticing about that job but the weather when leaving the office 😂 and if we talking about these clowns let’s talk about how Boston is about to pass them for most titles at least that’s a valid excuse to bring them up in fairness
With how Boston's roster is constructed, I can see them possibly 2peating, the minimum. That's assuming they keep that core together.
The only reason they offered hurley the job is because people knew JJ is lebron's choice. Change my mind
Lakers been a mess since 2013
California taxes are ridiculous. For sure. The Lakers organization should've offered more to Hurley to offset that loss.
These comments are hilarious. The Lakers were smart not to pay an unproven college coach albeit from a reputable basketball family $100M. They need a coach with the combination of a sharp basketball mind and unshakeable confidence to lead a storied franchise. I would argue none of the previous coaches outside of Pat Riley and Phil Jackson met those requirements. So good luck to Hurley in the pursuit of a 3rd national championship.
Lakers are the Man United of the NBA
Not the same lakers anymore. Dr. Buss Kobe and now Jerry west passed.
Did he just compare New York weather to the bay? Come on man... 75 degrees in the bay baby.
NYC is 76° today...looks like he's right this time of year.
I wouldn't want to go to the Lakers, Kings, Clippers, or Warriors just on the taxes alone in California
I didn't even know about the weather tax, if it's true. Lakers can get away with that stuff (luring top free agents or top head coaches consistently) back in the 1990s and early 21st century, but not anymore.
"hurley didnt want it, why tf would I take it?" All coaches probably
Why should he be a top 5 highest paid coach in a league he didn't coach in?
This makes me not want to be a Lakers fan anymore😢
I agree, it does look a little bad.😮
The Lakers do NOT look bad, not even close!
They tried to get a winning coach but he declined.
Now they'll be judged for who they hire. They'll also be judged for the team they surround the new coach with.
Lakers should apologize to Vogel and get him back
Do you think even Doc Rivers would take his act out of Milwaukee to the Glitter dome of L.A.
Lakers need smarter people running the organization. Get rid of the Rambis Family and Rob.
Polinka earns top 5 GM salary while he lowballs coaches.... get what you give....
Lakers may as well take the Miami Heat route (hiring within via promotiong Erik Spoestra when he was a video coordinator) instead of taking the Brooklyn Nets route (when they hired Steve Nash as head coach under the encouragement of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving) if they hire J.J. Reddick. If anything, may as well do the New Orleans Pelicans route and get an assistant coach from an NBA Finals team to help the team grow up with an identity (getting Willie Green from Phoenix after having Alvin gentry as a coach)
STOP TALKING ABOUT LEBRON AND THE lakers
Because we talk about the lakers everyday so it's ok to low ball him😂😂😂😂
The math ain’t mathing
Phil already had 9 rings by the time he could ask for a big payout, what does Dan Hurley have? The Lakers have made a significant offer, I respect Hurley's decision but he's a nobody in the NBA why would Lakers pay him like top 5 coaches in the NBA? Makes no sense Windy
Tu lue and Monty Williams have done nothing since turning down the Lakers
