For a person intrigued by offensive sets, options and creativity, it was fascinating.
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who now teams up with Redick on the popular "Mind the Game" podcast, weighed in on the Redick-Hurley exchange.
"He’s so DAMN GOOD!!! Along with his staff. Super creative with their O! Love it," James posted about Hurley.
Nearly two months later, Hurley soon could be James’ next coach with the Lakers.

The Lakers are preparing to make a "major" offer to to Connecticut's Dan Hurley to become their new coach, USA TODAY Sports has confirmed via a person with knowledge of the Lakers' coaching search.
