Looks like no Blatt on the staff

| Quote: | Report: David Blatt near deal to coach Darussafaka in Turkish league
David Blatt said he was going to be a head coach somewhere next season.
That turned out not to be in the NBA, where he interviewed and was in the running for the head coaching jobs with the Nets, Knicks, and Rockets but didn’t land any of them. So rather than be a lead assistant, or just wait the market out, he is headed back to Europe, Turkey in particular, reports David Pick, a well-connected basketball reporter.

Darussafaka's deal with David Blatt, I'm told, is long-term for $1.7-2m per season.

Darussafaka Dogus is based out of Istanbul and was in the EuroLeague for the first time last season and received a wild card to compete in the league next season (that’s the highest level of European basketball, featuring the best teams from leagues around the continent, similar to the Champions League in soccer). Darussafaka is trying to climb the ladder and compete with the traditional powers of Turkish basketball, Fenerbahçe and Turkey Anadolu Efes. The Darussafaka roster includes Sixers’ Summer League standout Scottie Wilbekin, Luke Harangody, Jamon Gordon, and Reggie Redding from the United States.
Hiring Blatt, who had tremendous success in Europe before coming to the NBA, would be a coup for the club. One they certainly are paying handsomely for.
Blatt won 67.5 percent of his games over a season-and-a-half with the Cavaliers and guided the team to the NBA Finals, but he never fully meshed with LeBron James and the Cavs veterans. Part of that was on Blatt — he demanded respect for his time spent and success in Europe, and that plus his need to be the smartest guy in the room rubbed players the wrong way. Blatt wasn’t humbly trying to earn respect, and the players went to current Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue when frustrated with Blatt. Eventually, Cavaliers management turned to Lue to coach the team because of team chemistry concerns.
Blatt deserved another chance in the NBA, but that didn’t come this summer. We’ll see if his return to Europe impacts that in the future. |

| I really hope they add a strong X's and O's guy. Blatt would have been perfect for a first year coach to lean on. |

I was hoping for a BLATT ATTACK but I dont think he wanted an assistant job. Especially if he get a head coaching job in an environment he's more familiar with.

Blatt wasn't interested in that.
| Quote: | In a brief conversation, Blatt said he will not take next season off and suggested that if he doesn’t have a head coaching job, he will take one overseas as opposed to working as an assistant or associate head coach in the NBA.
“I don’t see myself not being a head coach somewhere but you never know,” he said.
In 23 years as a coach, Blatt has never taken a full season off. |

I have a feeling this next series is where Gilbert is going to realize he made a mistake getting rid of Blatt.
Not hating on Lue, but essentially he is a cheerleader more than a coach. Blatt came up with a brilliant game plan vs. the Warriors last year in the Finals and it almost worked. I don't think Lue has those kind of adjustments in him, we shall see.

Actually, Luke comes from several great coaching trees:
John Wooden through his dad.
Lute Olson in college
Phil Jackson in pros
Hard to get better than that. |

Interesting that you bring Lute Olson up. Good article on the Arizona influence in the NBA finals: http://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildcats/basketball/all-arizona-nba-finals-will-have-lute-fans-riveted/article_19f63e80-5fd2-51a4-bd90-c525694d5d74.html |
