Shams details Pistons firing Monty Williams with 5 years, $65M+ left on his deal | Pat McAfee Show

and Senior Insider for FanDuel TV and the athletic sham shiran Shamy good to see you brother how you doing Pat I’m good I know one person who is watching right now hopefully Adam Silver he told me at the finals he’s an avid viewer he loves this show and he likes watching around lunchtime just to be specif well you love lunch too I’m sure you guys shared your conversations about how much you love lunch and Adam Silver I appreciate the hell out of you man uh in the answer he watches the show pretty crazy uh the answer he gave about like I’m very thankful he’s the only one really that stand up guy yeah he was the only one like context matters I think in his entire thing and then obviously that wasn’t reported about because why would it be uh you know that would be journalism both sides of everything being covered but hey we’re not journalists you are and obviously you’re a man who knows the workings of what’s happening in the National Basketball Association today W broke massive news Monty has been fired from the Detroit Pistons now this comes after he leaves the Phoenix Suns to a deal that makes him the highest paid coach in the history of the NBA the Detroit Pistons want to turn everything around we would like to be good again they stink they’re worse than everybody the stats coming out now that he was paid $5.4 million per win and then the Boston Celtics more won more games in the playoffs than the Pistons obviously did in the entire season I mean it’s not a good thing at all for either party seemingly when they came together but now he get 65 million just to kind of go away what what what how’s this is this normal and what does this mean for the Detroit Pistons Chums last season did not go well they made history with the longest losing streak in NBA history uh just overall Tom Gore’s ownership everyone around that organization at that level even players they were all through with Monty Williams and at the end of the day they they hired a new president Tran Langan they obviously wanted him to be in contact with Monte Williams speak and meet with Monte Williams and that’s what they’ve been doing for the last two weeks but one thing to note guys is Tom Gores told Tran Lon the moment he took over as president that he has full autonomy to make any changes he wants and also to eat whatever salary he wants to eat everyone knew exactly what that meant that meant that you can eat the final 6567 million left on Monty Williams massive contract and that contract was up to100 million it included health care benefit benefits it included access to a private jet his wife was was diagnosed with cancer and that’s why Monte Williams did not want to take this head coaching job uh you know last season but the Pistons kept offering more and more money and once it got to that amount 70 plus Million Dollar on a six-year deal up to100 million overall uh Monty Williams could not say no he didn’t say no he took the deal and now he’s going to walk away on juneth on this June 19 day with uh boatload of money uh for the next five years they fired him on J what that wow classic pist W is that what you were trying to say that’s a hell of a $65 million on Wednesday don’t have to work bless uh any anyway shs we we we heard now they have to make a coaching hire and this coaching hire will take place what just happened you got Tyrese Albert and two voices right there I think maybe your airpods just died my airpods died yeah it’s been a morning yeah you swe I understand you’re very active but them eating all those contracts and those salaries obviously they’re trying to do whatever they can to move forward do they now just fall into the same category as the Lakers and Cavaliers with coaching search do they already have a person linked to the Pistons like Darin ham is he just now going to be the head coach of the Pistons because he’s a Pistons Legend and everybody thinks he kind of got the raw end of the deal with the Los Angeles Lakers do we have any of those where we’re sitting at right now just a few hours removed the the Lakers and Cavs have been way more progressed in their coaching searches than than the Pistons have been I think the Pistons are looking at over the next two to three weeks they want to have a coach in place before summer league summer league starts on July 12th so having someone in they’re not really as concerned about the draft next week in free agency they’re more concerned about going through a process one coaching candidate that is at the top of their list is James burgo but he is gaining Traction in Cleveland to potentially be the Cavs head coach I’m told so if James burgo does come off the board with the Cavs then if you’re Detroit you’re looking looking at more younger head coach in Canada Sean Sweeney is a name to keep an on he’s the Maverick’s lead assistant coach right now OB they made to the NBA finals Johnny Bryant an assistant right now with the Knicks his name is going to be prevalent in this search process Chris Quinn he’s an assistant in Miami obviously a longtime NBA player as well so I would expect them to to be kind of at the tail end of the Lakers who we’ve been saying have been focused on JJ reic uh for the last few weeks now where do you know how quick does that move the Cavs seem like they’re progress I would expect the Lakers and Cavs to come off the board before Detroit [Music]
