David Blatt is present in the Adidas Eurocamp that is currently being held in Treviso, Italy. A gathering place for some of the brightest talents in Europe. It was there, where the coach of Darussafaka Dogus spoke to NBA.com about his opportunities in the best league of the world and more.
“I don’t think that my chances in the NBA are gone”, he said. “I just think right now I’m not thinking about. But, no. I think I did enough good things in the NBA and I know enough people to where if it’s my desire in some way, shape or form to come back that I could. But it’s just not what I’m thinking about right now. Right now I’m trying to focus on my next challenge. I never sat and dreamed on a daily basis of being in the NBA and it happened because I worked hard and was part of enough very successful things that it made me a viable candidate. I hope to do the same thing and if I want the same result could come.”
The 57-year old coach was also asked if he watched the title series between the Golden State Warriors and his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. “It’s hard for me to watch the team on TV right now,” he admitted. “I follow the Finals and I certainly watched a lot of the playoff games, but it’s a little hard for me to watch the games on TV right now. But I’m certainly aware of what’s going on”.
And then, the hot potato was dropped. Did Lebron James affected his sacking from the Cavs? “No”, replied Blatt. “I don’t know exactly why. But that’s not what I think”.
