The Lakers are planning to offer their head coaching position to UConn head coach Dan Hurley, according to people with knowledge of the team’s plans but not authorized to speak publicly. The sides are expected to have increased discussions in the upcoming days, with the Lakers motivated to lure Hurley from college basketball. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been more shocked,” one Lakers official said.

For weeks, the external expectations have been that the Lakers would eventually target former NBA player and current broadcaster JJ Redick as the team’s next coach. Internally, though, that assessment was met with talk of a wide-open process, with some dismissing the Redick speculation as just “noise.” That insistence, it turned out, was accurate.

Lakers widely expected to draft Bronny James in first or second round
The Lakers are widely expected to draft Bronny James either with one of their own two picks (Nos. 17 or 55) or by trading up in the second round. The Sixers have the leverage over the Lakers with higher selections in both rounds, though.

Facci: Myles Turner and the Pacers, they’ve been through it all since 2015. He’s re-signed a few times, finally was able to break through and have that playoff success. Got out of the first round for the first time, never under the conference finals. It’s got to be awesome for Turner to stick this out and be able to then reap those rewards. What have you enjoyed about Turner the last two years, being that lone starting center? Chad Buchanan: It’s like you kind of let a dog who’s in a cage, you let him out, let him run a little bit, let him kind of breathe a little bit and show what he can do. You know, playing with Domas (Sabonis), they tried to make it work, and obviously it wasn’t ideal as you watched more and more of it. Once Domas was gone, it was Myles’ spot, and you add Tyrese. There were a lot of good things coming together for him, and he had always been a guy who’s a team first guy who wants the team to do well, he wants to play the right way, very coachable, became more and more professional with taking care of his body and becoming a vocal leader. So you saw growth from him in so many different areas.

Chad Buchanan: I think the arrival of Tyrese really sprouted and allowed Myles to blossom and I think Myles would tell you the same thing. The game is easy when you play with Tyrese and especially when you can shoot. If you’re screening for Tyrese and you can shoot, you’re going to get a lot of open shots, and I think Myles understands that. Those two have developed a real chemistry, and as a five man who can spread the floor and shoot with the way we play with Pascal, TJ, and Bennedict when he’s out there, they’re attacking the rim. It just gives a lot of space to a lot of our other guys, and to see him have success this year after what he’s been through, and as loyal as he’s been to the Pacers and the organization when he really didn’t have to be and to see him get rewarded was really great to see. I know it meant a lot to him, because he’s wanted this for a long, long time, and to see it happen for him was really rewarding.

Chad Buchanan on Pascal Siakam: We were hopeful that the fit was going to be strong because he’s at a position where we’ve kind of been trying to upgrade and improve over the last few years. And his ability to do a lot of different things is the type of player that Rick likes: the guy that can take a defensive rebound and go with it, can post up, can face up at the elbows or the mid-range and create a basket for you. He’s an underrated passer. And he’s just a very difficult cover for defenses. We thought if we’re at the kind of point in our season where we’re in this play-in, playoff range, like, does he get us over the hump and to be in as a playoff team? We were hopeful and we thought this is the guy that can help us establish us as a legit playoff team this year. He did exactly that.
