Hapoel Jerusalem Offers Tamir Blatt $750K to Join Next Season Amid Israeli Basketball Rivalry
Hapoel Jerusalem has reportedly submitted a $750,000 offer to guard Tamir Blatt, who recently became a free agent after his contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv expired. The offer is lower than Maccabi Tel Aviv's $900,000 proposal but includes a promise of a significant professional role within the team hierarchy. Blatt, who averaged 7.1 points and 5.2 assists in 19.5 minutes per game in the EuroLeague last season, as well as 9.6 points and 4.5 assists in the Israeli domestic league, is currently evaluating his options.
Hapoel Jerusalem's backcourt currently features Jared Harper, Jalen Smith, Roy Hover, and Eitan Borg. The club envisions Blatt playing a key role if he joins. Despite the report, Hapoel Jerusalem officially denied ever making an offer to Blatt. The competition for top players in Israeli basketball is intensifying as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
