Despite the initial reports about David Blatt traveling to the States to meet the Knicks, it turned out that the opposite will happen.

As he said to Eurohoops, Blatt will not travel to the States. According to ESPN “The New York Knicks plan to interview former Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt in Europe next week”.

According to the report “Knicks GM Scott Perry is planning to pair the European trip with a scouting side trip, sources said. The Perry-Blatt meeting will be telltale to Blatt’s candidacy. Blatt has a strong history and relationship with Knicks president Steve Mills, and Mills has been an advocate for Blatt to become the Knicks’ head coach when he worked with Phil Jackson and now Perry.

Nevertheless, Perry has no relationship with Blatt and would need to be convinced that they could work together and that Blatt, 58, could be an asset in connecting with players and ultimately recruiting free agents to New York”.
