Messina vs. Blatt. This Friday.

[Flc]

Best indication yet that Messina's coming to the Jazz.


Messina wouldn't have quit the CSKA job without getting some indication that he's got a better gig waiting for him. I knew Lindsey's "scouting" trip to Europe was just a decoy.

Thank God we have you to help us, Sherlock.

For your next case, I'm excited to read about how you've determined that since the sky and an asphyxiated baby are both blue that the only reasonable conclusion is that the sky is made up of dead babies.

locke said something along those lines. seems funny and potentially disruptive that a guy can sign with an opposing team in the week leading up to playing against that team. seems that it may have just been a rumour at this stage - https://www.eurohoops.net/2014/05/dribbling/48382

I think I heard on the radio today that Blatt just signed a contract with CSKA. To replace Messina, I guess.

I don't think it's official yet, I haven't heard.

Like I said in the other thread, Messina has been wanting out for a while and he had already informed CSKA that he wants to explore new waters in his career. Euro sources say that this was months ago, so they actually have been working and thinking together for a smooth changing direction for CSKA. For that, they've been also talking to Blatt since him and Messina are good friends and have been most likely in contact all season long.

Fyi, Blatt is still in contract with Maccabi but any side can terminate and opt out with a fee which is no doubt CSKA will be willing to pay for. Messina has also one another year on his contract with CSKA but they have probably sorted it out already privately since they are working together.

Isn't there a color called "baby blue?"

As for Messina, it's been known for quite some time he was leaving CSKA. I doubt he made that decision based upon a belief that Utah would make him a job offer. If so, he and Lindsey have been masters at keeping it under wraps. And I wonder what would have happened had the Millers insisted on giving Ty another contract?

What a clutch balance.

Maccabi won! What an incredible game!! Blatt is the man!!!

I love the Euroleague!!!

 

[karpasov]

What an incredible win for Blatt. Maccabi is the less talented team.

 

[idiot]

Didn't watch the game. But Messina's team got outscored in the 4th quarter 23-12 to lose by one point. Can't be a good sign, can it?

For those who did watch: what do you attribute this to?

 

[Diamond77]

Blatt always had success with average teams! He is the difference maker!
