UPDATE: Pistons FIRE Monty Williams after one year of six-year 72 million dollar contract
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
He finally gets to coach Marvin Bagley though.
Didn't he express interest in our job but Vlade passed him over for someone else. Forgot who.

Pop was the highest last year at 11.5 a year. Unless that number went up this year Monty has the crown

Theres a chance he could coach his son Elijah if he stays all those years!
Pistons have sooooo many young peices already plus the 5th and 31st pick in the draft, will be interesting to see how they can come together around a healthy Cade.
Will they take another player with PG skills at 5? Like Anthony Black? or is that too many chefs ruining the stew situation with too many ball-handlers? Will they take a 3pt shooter like Taylor Hendricks?
They should be able to make marked improvement over the next few seasons. He goes from Ayton to Bagley, Duren Stewart and Wiseman, stays coaching former top ranked bigs.

Good for Monty, I have always liked him. He has a six year contract for a bag of cash + a team with a lot of upside!

Luke Walton! Monte was a the coach I wanted that off season.

I'm not quite convinced that Monte would be a better coach than he is a GM, though...

Even Tobias Harris is impressed with Monty's game.

After getting fired by the Suns, Monty reportedly wanted to take some time off to help his wife fight cancer before the Pistons made him such a stupidly huge offer that he rightfully couldn’t refuse. Now he can take all the time he needs while still getting the Pistons‘ money for the next five years.
Hell of a retirement plan if you can get it.

Wtf are the pist ons doing? Why wait this long after the regular season and a week before the draft.

I mean, prematurely terminating a $60 million dollar contract probably outside the authority of any GM in the NBA

They need a coach that can utilize both Cade and Ivey at the same time. Ivey had a stretch of looking like a star when Cade was out. Find a coach that can use two lead playmakers.

That’s a tough job considering neither one shoots well from 3 consistently plus Cade being average defensively and Ivey poor so far. If they sign Monk that complicates things too.
