Despite staying at Darussafaka for next season, Blatt didn’t hide his ambition to return to the NBA and the Knicks, if they can’t turn things around in the upcoming season, can be his new team.
According to long time Knicks reporter Frank Izola, “Blatt has connections with people in high places inside the Knicks front office, namely team president Steve Mills and newly hired front office executive Craig Robinson. All three were teammates at Princeton under legendary coach Pete Carril and remain close. You can connect the dots from here”.
However, all this may happen only if current coach Jeff Hornacek loses his job. With Carmelo Anthony being constantly a subject of trade rumors and Kristaps Porzingis also entering those kinds of talks, it remains to be seen if Blatt can also end up in New York at some point in the near future.
