Lakers’ $70-million offer not enough for Dan Hurley? ‘There probably is a number’ to leave UConn

The Lakers offered Connecticut coach Dan Hurley a large sum — $70 million over six years — to become their head coach.

He turned them down to return to UConn and attempt to coach the Huskies to a third straight NCAA championship.

Is there a dollar amount the Lakers could have offered Hurley that would have changed his mind?

“There probably is,” Hurley said Thursday on “The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz,” although he said he’s not sure what that amount would be.
