Even Detroit now has a coach.
I’d imagine its between Jordi or Sergio at this point.
12MM a year holy shit
Has to be Jordi though, I hope so but either way I’m not ready for a rebuild 😭
They gave Monty Williams a fucking coach supermax dfkm
Isnt that a lot of money for a head coach? Wtf
They actually did it. Interesting to see how pistons do next year
Raps were one of the first to fire their coach and are now last to hire a replacement. Is it that difficult to find a coach for our core?
They gave him an NBA contract golly
Holy shit. Talk about a golden hand shake.
Good for him
That’s a lot of money to pay a coach that’s never won a ring jeeze
12M AAV??? Holy fuck. The accumulated amount is higher than this week’s lotto max prize
What did he accomplish to be the highest paid coach in the league
That’s a ton of money for a coach.
Is that the highest paid coach in the league?
Yo Dwayne, where you at?
I will probably get shit for this but… Monty gives me Mike Budenholzer with good PR vibes.
Thats a great hire for Detroit.
Crazy amount of money but good for him. He turned that Suns team around and will be good for Detroit’s young roster.
good coach for the young pistons
That is insane. Casey was not a great coach and he’s off to an interesting start to his FO career.
Honestly, I wasn’t even aware Casey had been fired.
Guys need to chill. Sergio is a winner and so is Jordi. The last lead assistant of the incumbent COTY we hired brought us a chip and a COTY season.
Good move. They literally have nothing enticing except for Cade Cunningham. Maybe this years pick? Throw money as much as possible. Worried this will raise Masais price too lol.
This was our guy in my head, who the fuck we getting
when did casey get canned? i missed something?
That’s what it takes to convince a man to move his family to Detroit
Isn’t Casey the one signing the cheques now? Man getting his peers paid lol
Sheesh, that’s a huge overpay to get someone to go to Detroit. That said, Monty seems like a good developmental coach so maybe it’ll work out there.
Who saw this one coming? Holy shit that contract… both the term AND the amount are absolutely shocking.
Wow I didn’t know coaches could get this much
Dang, there goes one of my top two choices.
Kenny Atkinson is next up for me..
Hope Phoenix goes with Doc and Raptors grab Jordi Fernandez and spend the extra money (Jordi isn’t gonna be making 8M like Nurse) saved on rebuilding their coaching staff/development team.
