Partizan’s coach is ready for a challenge in NBA…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Partizan\u2019s legendary coach \u017deljko\u202fObradovi\u0107 has indeed hinted at being ready for an NBA challenge, expressing openness to a new stage in his career . Here’s a detailed rundown:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking after Partizan\u2019s big win against Crvena\u202fZvezda in April 2025, Obradovi\u0107 mentioned that \u201cthere will be a meeting at the end of the month\u201d regarding NBA interest in European clubs\u2014including Partizan\u2014and emphasized the need for unity to negotiate properly .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He called Partizan (and Zvezda) \u201ctreasures of European basketball\u201d, making clear their value on a global stage .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Obradovi\u0107 stressed that when big leagues look at them, Partizan deserves respect and equality\u2014a pointed reference to potential fit and opportunity in the NBA .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He\u2019s being proactive: While he hasn\u2019t announced an NBA move, he\u2019s clearly signaling that he\u2019s open to discussions\u2014as opposed to brushing them off.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

European heavyweight: Having won nine EuroLeague titles, his track record is among the best globally\u2014makes him a credible NBA candidate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Partizan as a showcase: He sees representing Partizan as a springboard to bigger conversations, possibly in the NBA.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

End-of-month discussions: He\u2019s alluding to upcoming meetings\u2014likely between EuroLeague and NBA leaders\u2014to explore formal NBA-EuroLeague collaboration.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Licensing\/security: In the meantime, Partizan is pushing for a long-term EuroLeague licence, which would strengthen its\u2014and by extension Obradovi\u0107\u2019s\u2014negotiating position .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Short-term: He remains under contract with Partizan through at least 2026 following a 2\u2011year extension .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Medium\u2011long term: Any NBA shift likely won\u2019t materialize until after 2026, unless there\u2019s a buy\u2011out or mutual agreement sooner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Obradovi\u0107 is signaling that he\u2019s ready to explore NBA opportunities, but there\u2019s no formal offer yet. What\u2019s clear:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He values Partizan\u2019s profile and sees it as a stepping stone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Talks are in motion at high levels\u2014these aren\u2019t just rumors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A move could happen post\u20132026, depending on part scheduling, licensing, and contract specifics.<\/p>\n\n
