Detroit Pistons FIRE Head Coach Monty Williams!

Detroit Pistons FIRE Head Coach Monty Williams!

is breaking like crazy right now breing Adrian W the Pistons after one season have dismissed coach Monty Williams who leaves with 5 years and $65 million plus left on his new deal new president trean langon will move to make his own coaching hire now which to me shows that he has the powers we wanted some type of sign to see what this front office structure would be and if would be and they’re showing us that TR L has the power his coach GM his way and they’re doing this right before the draft this is going to be something wild crazy interesting I see why they’re holding off on the press conferences they’re like trasan cook and then answer wow and they just hired somebody that worked under miti for a long time in Fred Vin that that almost I thought confirmed that he was staying that’s wild ruthless yeah we literally just had ride on and this happens that’s wow man oh my go wow hey you know what shout out to sh as well that I saw it first from you in the chat so I definitely want to make sure I say shout out to you and then uh obviously social media just starting to buzz about it what an amazing devel talk about this what an amazing devel hey time Gores that’s $60 million that he has to eat now in a in a onee failure of a of a project man oh my God this is amazing if this is the decision that tran wants good for Tom G is good for this organization for going all in and doing it like and this just hit so like I know we’re all wrapping our thoughts around it but like koola said Tran’s got the power this proves he’s got the power at least some influence and it takes whether you’re a gazillionaire or not to just pay someone 60 mil to go away that’s you got to think that’s not just chump change but what I want to see is we wish Chris would do this yeah that’s why I tell people from from an aspect of an owner I like what uh I like what um I like what Tom Gore’s potential brings to the table it’s just a matter of making sure you have the exact right people in your front office yeah to to to take the best advantage of I hopefully treaser Landon is that guy who you can believe in what he’s saying you can believe in what he’s bringing to the table a lot of people they didn’t really let like what Monty Williams was able to do with the young players of us really hid that everybody was really confused on what was going on with Jay iy the handling of assar Thompson the lack of putting what I believe to be some of these young players in their best position to succeed like I’ve talked about it on the wber pons podcast I’ve asked questions about it in the in the press conferences as well about putting assar Thompson in pick and rolls putting assar Thompson in and it like what he was having success with early in the season was picks and rolls Cuts rim rim Dives and things of that nature it just seemed like they kind of relegated them more to just this outside you need to be able to shoot type of guy and I thought that it took something away from the Pistons offense a little bit even Jaylen Duren I didn’t necessarily see the advancement and development in this game over this this this season that I wanted to see from a paint from as offensive player or a defensive player so when these are your young players who you’re drafting with top five Talent you’re hoping that these are the guys that can lead your team and I just haven’t seen that and Mony Williams openly walked into this thing during training camp and stated hey look guys I’m not used to coaching a team like this so maybe it signals that a few of these young players are coming back you know obviously what this meant for J and Ivy uh I feel bad for what Jay iy went through the last season I really do because who knows where he and Kay would have been by midseason if they could have started the year playing together and building up this chemistry for really the first time in their careers this was the first time in their careers that they really got to play together and it really got stifled uh at the beginning because Monty Williams and the way that he chose to assess things so yeah and and you are right and like you said he kind of foreshadowed this man he told us hey I’m not used to coaching teams like this and when he was brought in it kind of seemed like maybe he didn’t exactly want to do the job but he was made an offer that he just couldn’t refuse we all know the things that he was going through in his personal life and things of that nature so he took the job and he came into a team that was kind of in disarray he walked into a [ __ ] show for lack of better words and he’s just not used to coaching teams this young like he’s he’s better with readymade teams I still don’t think Monty Williams is a bad coach but like you said in terms of just what he did with some of the lineups and the treatment of some some of the young players you can tell that he wasn’t fully prepared for everything that he was walking into so I mean I I wish him the best of luck I don’t think he’s a bad coach still I think he just kind of got the crap end of the stick but you he took the job I think helped to create though some of the storm I don’t think he walked into it I like the direction that they were going in and I believe that if Troy Weaver was given the the power to be able to build around the scene the way he wanted to like we know and there’s been reports from National people who stated Jeremy Grant was a Troy Weaver guy and that AR tellum didn’t want him here what they do they made a swap to take our best defensive player our best 2A player out of here Troy would have had Jeremy gr here long term and now we’re sitting here trying to find that type of player to add to this business Squad while meanwhile Bo banovich has only declined and declined and declined so it’s just like you know when Monty got here he kind of disrupted where things were headed really well yeah because think about it if this was on Troy you think Jay and Ivy is not starting oh yeah that’s that’s what I’m saying mon Williams was hired directly by the owner so he had a certain power and they instantly suspended their free agency we were talking to him earlier in the season Troy weer in and the notion was that this free agency they were going to spend after Monty Williams is hiring they they the statement from the organization not just from Troy but also AR was that they weren’t going to spend they needed to see what fit Monty williams’ um style so you spent a whole year historically losing historically losing handcuffing whoever in the front office just to to assess this team to try and build it to Monty williams’ specifications just to broom him out do I still believe he’s a good coach in a situation a setting that fits him I definitely do I can’t look at what he’s just done here and then dismiss everything he’s done he’s better with readymade teams but it’s it’s just how ironic that you spent the year saying you know what we’re going to pause free agency we’re going to spin the year assessing and then we’re going to spend money next year to fit this team to what we see and like and know about man Williams and have this chemistry and this Synergy with him and now he’s gone it’s like wow is this a sign that maybe trean Lon is starting completely over and that this thing may take three four five years or is it a sign that he wants this thing to move a little bit faster and you know what we need the right people in place to be able to do that because it’s not an easy thing we see no it’s not this is interesting a week before the draft or almost two weeks before the draft that’s nuts man I got some I got some uh crazy reactions from the chat reactions from the chat Tony D says oh this this must have been after the uh yeah must have been after the croi re says fire chicken like Monty Ryan’s reactions I have Goosebumps full body Goosebumps super Juggernaut 87 Detroit for the win Mitten ma says glorious art vandelay had to be done we need a full rebuild from the top down Len w says the best day of my life traan Lon I’m pouring honey on you goat Brendon Harris here’s the interesting point this time last year Monty Williams was the man yeah like think about how times have changed RJ Graham says great morning Detroit says bring home Chanty BBS yes yeah who who do you think Tran wants to lead this team now who what coach do you feel like fits his agenda I’m not sure now and that was one of the things that you know Rod beard talked about if you’re going to get rid of ammani Williams who you’re going to have in place but if you’re getting rid of Amman Williams you have somebody in place obviously people that have ties to the Pistons historically are guys like Chanty BBS and guys like Jerry Stackhouse who is no longer at Vanderbilt he got more cozy and comfortable with the Detroit Pistons organization over the last few years we’ve had him in this studio he’s done things directly with PS he’s worn his teal and all of that type of stuff and so that is a guy that intrigues me and interests me when the Pistons had this coaching vacancy before Jerry stack house was a guy that I was saying I would love to see her I thought hey with his kind of proximity to college players being a college coach his ability to kind of uh know the development process be able to help understand their lingo and and and help them transition to the NBA lingo and such I thought you know what and he’s a former NBA player at a high level maybe he’s the perfect guy to have here chy bips was one of those guys who stated he doesn’t necessarily want to deal with the young team and then Portland went and did what saddled him with a young team this wasn’t what he wanted to do either so I like aanti in theory but what type of team are they going to put on the floor for Chanty bips that messes with who he is and when you talk about his legacy overall you want to make sure that he’s a guy that’s stepping into something that you know he can be the complete driver of as a coach also do you think that this gives any Credence to uh Tran having full power now um I remember you brought up a few days ago that they’re leaning towards a more traditional power structure to where Tran can report directly to Tom gors do you think this was a product of that and maybe they are moving in a direction where raan is going to be the sole voice of what happens with this team I’m starting to think both of them are I I really am and when you look at the way that that press release was for for a a Troy Weaver this wasn’t a situation where you get the feeling that the the the owner of the of the squad was disappointed in what Troy Weaver was they put oh these are his accomplishments hey we offered him another role within the organization so this to me would be hey Tran you got the power to make whatever decision you make that you want to make because why would Tran come here if he doesn’t get that that’s true and I talked about that we talked about you know what Troy should have been somebody who demanded that power before he got here that’s true so TR and out looking at this from the outside looking in no matter what your connections are to the organization or to the TMS you’re probably saying I need that power and if it just so happens to be somebody that Tom Gores likes it just so happens to be somebody that Tom gor likes we know that Tom gor was the one who really made the push to go out there and hire ammani Williams but if trean langon is now the person who’s able to come in and say you know what we we need to move in a different direction I do believe is showing and proving that TR Landon is the one with the power you look at a Troy Weaver he wasn’t allowed as GM to hire his own coach that’s crazy Tran langon is now going to have the opportunity to hire his own coach and to hire his own general manager so and he’s made the firings so it’s proving he’s made some coaching hirings already yeah so it’s it’s proving it’s already proving right now that trean Lon might be the guy with the master plan in his hand that is crazy what about this one from Mark comington Sam C will be the new head coach of the Pistons Market down you know what I’m not mad at that either I like Sam Cassel it definitely has been kind of going through the rounds as an assistant coach as well I like him I like him I gotta do some more research on him but I like him what up though JB I just gotta say man I might be a fan of TR and Lon damn a press conference and anything all like that that we’re still waiting for right now a press conference but but a press conference I’m working yeah he’s over there working he’s like screw this press conference I’m trying to get [ __ ] done over here I’m over here in the fast lane trying to get [ __ ] done but man to fire Monty Williams on juneth as well too like this is the epitome of this is the epitome of what Friday is for Craig you got fired on your day off he really got fired got fired on your day off come on that’s crazy I didn’t think about that fired a brother o JW think about that Jonathan L says what about rod for Coach Rod beard beard GM president of basketball operations Hey listen Rob beard real my famous and then I’ll I’ll come to you my favorite reaction to all this before we went to break I saw this comment before we went to break a respectful jab David uh David cabil Cabell cabil he says please stop talking Pistons till they make some moves less than five minutes later we come out of the break good man David K says now that’s a good move that’s what I’m talking about so we we now have your blessing to talk Troy Weaver did get fired even though they did bring in Fred Vincent even though they did bring in Jr Holden even though they now are linked to multiple players that all season we’ve discussed saying hey we want the Pistons to be able to look at these guys I told y’all all year the Pelicans were going to be an organization to keep an eye on as it relates to the relationship with the Detroit Pistons they already had connections together they had already had talks in the past we told you guys hey where there’s smoke there’s fire keep your ear to the ground as relates to a Brandon Ingram type of player or maybe some of the secondary players on the on the Pelicans who knew we would wind up though with their president with our new president of basketball operations from the Pelicans front office as well as a a couple other support staff and Co and positional coaches as well coming to the Detroit Pistons organization and then going to getting Jr Holden from the Brookland Nets organization another team that the Detroit Pistons have been in conversation with over the past couple Seasons way can’t wait look when of you guys read it oh Ryan reaction oh my gosh 499 Super Chat that’s crazy I’m not touching that go ahead I can’t even read that R’s reaction always remember on juneth that tran freed miti oh my god with the glasses he Ain lying man W oh my go what the hell you know what’s crazy Troy Weaver’s hired Charles Lee got hired to be head coach so let’s just yeah yeah you know Charles Lee um Kevin Ali these were some of the guys that he was looking at and during that time so it’s uh man man it’s it’s so many different Avenues of what could have been with this organization I’m glad that they’re centralizing power now yeah uh for the fans I hope it’s not too little too late obviously the organization has to do what they have to do if it’s if it’s 3 to five year route it is what it is if it’s something more accelerated that’s something I know would definitely jive with a lot of the supporters Hanging On by a thread it needed to be done we needed a complete regime change that’s why when they held on to Troy I was kind of questioning like why would you do this man even if you did want to hang on to him just around the the media surrounding this team and everything that happened I didn’t think that was a good play but he’s coming in this we got a new sheriff in town man we do [Music]
