00:02 - A hundred millions, like a nice even number.

00:06 It's a lot of money.

00:07 And it was, it'd be a hard for anybody to turn down 100.

00:09 That's guaranteed.

00:11 So $100 million.

00:12 So I'm gonna get $100 million for the next five years.

00:15 And if you fire me, I get it anyways.

00:17 Okay.

00:18 Right.

00:19 But 11 million?

00:21 Nah, you know, not, not enough.

00:23 Plus I didn't think the Lakers is some great job

00:26 if you're a Hurley, right?

00:29 It's not a bad gig.

00:30 It's the Los Angeles Lakers.

00:58 like they're, they know, all right,

01:00 I get the blame if we don't win.

01:01 You get all the numbers and the stats, right?

01:04 Like that's just the way that it's always been.

01:06 That's why Kyrie Irving didn't want, you know, LeBron,

01:08 I wish I was playing with Kyrie.

01:09 Well, he didn't want to play with you because of that.

01:11 Right?

01:12 He wanted to break all the records.

01:13 The ball's going to be in your hand all the time.

01:15 Now on the way out, he's going to say, well, you know what?

01:17 I'll, you know, we'll get some other players,

01:19 but it wasn't a great gig if you're Hurley, you know?
