David Blatt is close to completing a deal to return to Europe and coach the Turkish club Darussafaka.

Blatt's deal will be worth $1.7 million to $2 million per season.

Blatt interviewed for NBA vacancies in New York, Sacramento and Houston. Blatt was not interested in remaining in the NBA as an assistant coach.

Blatt was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers before the All-Star break.

David Blatt doesn't have interest in remaining in the NBA as an assistant coach but doesn't want to sit out next season.

“I don’t see myself not being a head coach somewhere but you never know,” he said.

Blatt was a candidate for several head coaching jobs this offseason.

“I’m going to coach next year. I’m not going to sit out. It’s not in my nature. I want to work,” he said. “I’ll be back somewhere. Could be anywhere.”

Blatt was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers before the All-Star break.

“I went through the interview process, and I sincerely hoped to get a job,” he said. “It didn’t work out, and I’m looking ahead. That’s all.”

Barcelona has interest in hiring David Blatt as head coach.

Blatt left Maccabi Tel Aviv to become head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014.

Blatt was fired by the Cavaliers before the All-Star break and he would like to remain in the NBA.

The New York Knicks and Houston Rockets have interviewed Blatt.

Xavier Pascual has been head coach of Barcelona since 2008.

CSKA defeated Fenerbahce Ulker 101-96 to win the 2016 Euroleague Final Four.

Nando De Colo was named MVP as he had 22 points and seven assists in the title game. Kyle Hines, Cory Higgins, Andrey Vorontsevich and Viktor Khryapa also had double-figures.

Fenerbahce was led by 17 points for Ali Muhammed and 16 points apiece for Pero Antic, Ekpe Udoh and Gigi Datome.

Willy Hernangomez has rejected two offers from Real Madrid and has a four-year deal on the table from the New York Knicks.

Hernangomez's four-year from the Knicks is worth $4.5 million.

The Knicks acquired the draft rights to Hernangomez during the 2015 NBA Draft.

Furkan Korkmaz has negotiated a buyout clause into his contract with Anadolu Efes, which could allow him to come to the NBA for the 16-17 season.

Korkmaz is projected to be a mid-first round selection.

Korkmaz’s buyout will be $2 million.

If Korkmaz is unable to secure assurances he'll be selected in the lottery, he's likely to withdraw and re-enter in 2017.

An NBA team can contribute up to $650,000 this summer for a player picked in the first round with an international buyout, but league rules dictate that the difference must be paid out of the player's pocket. 

orkmaz is expected to have difficulty traveling to the United States for the workouts and interviews needed to improve his draft stock if his Turkish season runs late into June.
