The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly actively recruiting two-time UConn coach Dan Shelley. This made those who were optimistic about Reddick get crazy in the face. And, according to insider Anthony Irving, the Lakers offered each other a big contract of $100 million.

You know, Dan Hurley has never coached an NBA team, he is only a two-time NCAA championship coach. For such a coach, the Lakers gave a big contract of $100 million, which is also unprecedented.

The $100 million offer is an unprecedented bold move by the Lakers, who have been hiring head coaches in recent years, focusing on a cheap one and not caring if the other party is a rookie coach or not.

However, this time, the company directly asked for 8 years and gave 100 million US dollars. It is estimated that there is no one with such courage. However, the Lakers management has its own opinion, and 100 million in 8 years is not expensive.

We can see that coaches such as Tyronn Lue, Kidd, Kerr, Popovich, Spo, Monty Williams and other coaches are all active coaches who are eligible for an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. However, they are all old fritters who have coached in the NBA for many years.

For Dan Kelley, he's an NBA rookie coach. The Lakers' eight-year, $100 million contract ahead of schedule is mainly due to the fact that the NBA's coach salary will rise sharply in the future. Because the NBA recently won a broadcast contract that is close to $80 billion for the next 10 years.

The salaries of NBA players and coaches will definitely increase a lot again in the next 4-5 years. So, now offer an 8-year, $100 million contract, and you will definitely make a profit.

It can only be said that the Lakers' vision is still relatively long-term. Dan Hurley is also a standout in college basketball. He led the Connecticut Huskies to two consecutive NCAA tournament titles, cultivating a team culture that maximizes the potential of the players.

Therefore, Dan Herley's success is also to attract the Lakers to try to take him and make him a future part of the team. However, not everyone in the Lakers is in favor of taking Dan Herley.

Some expressed reservations about their views. There are concerns about Hurley's lack of NBA coaching experience and whether he will lead the Lakers to a championship like the Connecticut Huskies in his rookie season.

LeBron James praised Dan Hurley's coaching ability at a college basketball game in April, especially after he led the team to a championship. Moreover, recently, Michael Malone, the head coach of the Denver Nuggets, also supported the Lakers to take Dan Herley.

Michael Malone believes that the Lakers are too closely related, and they should pay attention to avoiding related households and focusing on basketball and choosing coaches. It also implies that the Lakers need Dan Hurley to improve their offense and defense.

You must know that the Lakers' offense and defense in the last two seasons have been easily beaten by the Denver Nuggets. No one knows how well Dan Hurley can lead the NBA, after all, the competition in the NBA is completely different from the competition in the NCAA.

If Dan Hellley accepts the $100 million contract offer, Dan Kelly will indeed give the Lakers a championship mentality and offensive and defensive strategies that will help the Lakers return to the favorites to win the championship.
