Basketball coach David Blatt ‘under consideration for Lakers job’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli basketball coach David Blatt is reportedly under consideration for a post with the Los Angeles Lakers, after being fired earlier this season as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Blatt is listed this week in an ESPN report, citing unnamed league sources, as one of 10 potential candidates on the NBA team’s “long list” to replace Byron Scott, who the Lakers say will not be returning next season.
The Israeli coach is also rumored to be in the running for head coach of the New York Knicks, though reports circulating this week say his candidacy for the position is a smokescreen to hide the team’s intention to hire interim coach Kurt Rambis.
