Although Dan Hurley has no NBA experience, the Lakers are reportedly offering him a contract that would place him among the league’s highest-paid coaches. John Fanta of Fox Sports said on The Zach Gelb Show that the Lakers are offering Hurley a deal exceeding $100 million.

 

“Can you say no and stomach saying no to nine figures? I have it on good authority the Lakers are offering him at least $100 million guaranteed,” he said.

Some of the NBA’s top-paid coaches, like Gregg Popovich, signed a five-year deal worth over $80 million in 2023. Erik Spoelstra inked an eight-year, $120-million deal in January.Offering such a substantial amount to Hurley likely indicates the Lakers’ desire for stability in the coaching position and the establishment of a strong culture moving forward.
