Might an assistant spot be opening up soon?

Blatt's speedbump w/ Maccabi (via Eurohoops) potentially opening the door for Spahija's return across the pond:

According to Israeli website “Wala” the talks for a three-year contract for $ 1.4 million per season have continued, but a dispute has emerged between the two parties.

While Blatt wants to get an opt out clause every summer for the NBA without any buy out and also a [$200,000] buy out for the Euroleague, the “Yellows” are willing to give him only an NBA opt out.

It remains to be seen if this issue can be solved, while according to the same report CSKA Moscow may have plans which include Blatt.

 

Blatt is denying any calls received from Russian clubs (staying away from any follow-up jokes here, so not the week for that).

Blatt spoke to Tacc in Russia and declined any rumors that wanted him to be negotiating with CSKA Moscow and Khimki for the upcoming season.

“Of course, I miss Russia, but neither CSKA nor Khimki entered into negotiations with me. Nothing has happened towards this direction”, Blatt admitted.

He doesn't seem mentally ready to quit though.  Hell I'd take him back as a player on a good deal.

Ya..just feel he lost a couple steps really quick..like in the matter of a year and a half...like something happened in 2015 that set his career back. Hmmmmmmm...what was it? For the life of me I can't remember what it could possib.....

 

DELLY YOU DIRTY AUSSIE RAT BASTARD!!!!!!

Another assistant leaving....

Come home, 3-zus! To coach.

[macdaddy]

I always enjoyed his halftime interviews.  Always wanted him to break into an Ivan Koloff style rant.

Might take a smaller deal if knowing coaching here in some capacity would be readily available for him afterwards. Even if its just a shooting coach it would still be the start of his second career.

More like ...

Or in @Spud2Nique's case ...

Seriously though, I've been wanting an asst shake-up.  Perhaps this *ahem* Spurs us to delving into the Warriors' pool of development eggsperts to upgrade the staff.

Whew, be careful there.  If you forget to put that 't' in there you're going to have to explain yourself before people pounce on the opportunity, right @Spud2Nique?

And with that said, I'm clocking out for the weekend.......

I was thinking Korver as coach like many of you as well. There is an article at the top of ESPN about Paul George and LeBron. Inside that article they discuss the difficulty of retaining Korver, mainly because they anticipate him getting paid 14 million a year in free agency. Good ol' ESPN for you there lol.

Wow. Figured he might get MLE money like $8mil.

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't see anything tangible brought to the table from Spahjia. The team got markedly worse (especially in "Euro" areas like shooting and passing) and unlike Quinn and Ken, no NBA squads are knocking on his door for a head job...

I loved his halftime interview with Oliv a lot though. He seems like a cool guy....

What the...$14 mill for Kyle?Damn I know shooting is a premium in the league but that's a lot..

 

I thought Kyle might get like 9 million a year for 3 years or even 30million/3 year deal to end his career.

 

We shall see. How much do you have Kyle making per @JayBirdHawk?
