Connecticut Huskies coach Dan Hurley is traveling to Southern California for a Friday meeting with Los Angeles Lakers VP of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss -- with the organization eager to close on a deal to hire the two-time national championship coach, sources told ESPN.
The Lakers' pursuit of Hurley to become the franchise's next coach has accelerated and the sides are already discussing the contractual parameters of a potential deal that would be significant in both its length and salary, sources said.
Hurley has not made a decision about exiting UConn for the NBA, but there is momentum in these discussions, sources said.
