so, please fill me in. did lue turn down the offer? that seems to be what is being talked around here.
Yes. The Lakers offered 3 years, $18 million.
Lue wanted 5 years, and a yearly salary equal to other championship coaches. He presumably meant closer to Pop ($11 million) and Doc ($10 million) rather than Kerr ($5 million).
I wonder if they gave him 5 years and 30 million what would have happened or 3 years like 24 million. And I can absolutely see why Lue would want 5 years and big money. I mean the Lakers basically have no other options and they already looked like idiots before this fiasco.
