Sources close to the Knicks' hiring process told ESPN.com that the most likely scenario, even after Jackson was snubbed by the only candidate that he has considered for the position since taking the Knicks' job in March, remains hiring a younger coach whom Jackson has worked with previously and can mentor.


Three candidates who will thus receive consideration from Jackson, sources told ESPN.com, are Luke Walton and Lue -- former players under Jackson -- as well as Oklahoma City Thunder guard Derek Fisher -- that is, if Fisher elects to stop playing after this season as he has hinted.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have offered their head-coaching job to longtime European coach David Blatt and the two sides are in contract talks, sources confirmed to ESPN.com on Thursday.


Blatt met with Cavs officials and team owner Dan Gilbert over the past two days and was offered the job on Thursday night. Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Tyronn Lue was the other finalist for the job, sources said, after a protracted search to replace Mike Brown that lasted six weeks and included numerous candidates.

Blatt, 55, will be coming to the NBA after a long and successful 20-year coaching career in Europe that included stops in Israel, Greece, Russia and Turkey. He led Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Euroleague championship this season. In 2012, he coached the Russian national team to the bronze medal at the London Olympics.
