considering the crossover of players and now coaches between the two franchises, you may as well call Fenerbahce Sacramento East

Ashamed to say I kind of forgot he was here. Not sure what kind of impact this will have but my enthusiasm level for pro sports is at a 45 year low.

Do we know whether he's leaving immediately, or if he will still finish out the NBA season?

None of the articles I googled up had a definitive answer (my hunch is he will leave?) How have coaches' contracts been modified around the strange season/July 1?

Woj's tweet almost implies he may have been in Serbia right now. But I doubt that to be the case.

I wonder if he just closed the door to being an NBA head coach again or perhaps he’s aiming to win a Euro title and then get another shot in the States?

It’s going to narrow his chances a fair amount. Basically, only Vlade or one the Utah front office guys would hire him back into the league. But, after his experience in Phoenix, he probably doesn’t want to work for anybody else anyway.

Never... I'm all for Galatasaray. And for me Fenerbahçe is what Lakers are too the Kings!!! With just a little difference that we have more championships than them.
