T he Los Angeles Lakers ' all-out, weeklong pursuit of UConn head coach Dan Hurley ended in disappointment when he declined a six-year, $70 million offer to lead LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and the NBA's most prestigious franchise.

The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly offered Dan Hurley $70 million to become their head coach.
