Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

Just because the Los Angeles Lakers aren't in the NBA finals does not mean that they can't upstage the NBA finals and they're doing their damnedest to do just that. I mean look at me, look at this. We finally get

to the NBA finals. I mean finally and yet I'm not leading the show with that.

But instead with the Lakers, the hell is that.

Let's see what that is this morning news broke that LA is making a strong push for their new head coach and it's not J.J.

Reddick. It's not J.J. It's not J.J. It's not James Borago.

It's, wait for it.

Wait a little longer.

Another second or two.

Daniel S Hurley.

Damn straight.

Damn straight.

Yukon head coach Dan Hurley,

according to Woj, the Lakers are going big,

really big.

We're talking about a quote massive long-term contract offer and quote

to get Hurley to leave stores Connecticut to come to the crypt and apparently it's not just some wild swing

to make it look like they haven't already given the job

to J.J. Reddick, that L. G.M.

hasn't already hired his best friend slash wine-sipping podcast co-host

and that the two of them haven't already drafted LeGiams LeKidd.

No, this might actually be a thing.
