Now go get Mark Jackson!!
Say it ain't so Monty Williams
What does that say about your franchise when you commit to a guy with an established track record and resume and then bail after one year not to mention the $60M? How bad can this guy be all of a sudden? I’d at least try and hold on for one more year bring some associate coach in if you have to for team morale issues what have you. And get one more hopefully top 5 pick next summer out of this.
Yall never watched the pistons!!!! Can’t talk about something yall don’t know.
All Professional Teams can Use the Salaries owed to former Coaches as Business Expenses that are used to Reduce Earnings which could lower Tax obligations.
Pistons should hire JJ Reddick
Monty just never seemed to be fully engaged to being the HC! He nearly got paid $1M/Victory😮
No one deserved to be fired more
This was a no brainer, he is a dreadful coach.
He could coach college.
Sounds like retirement to me.
They probably asked Monty "Who you're going for in the Finals?" And he said "The Celtics" And they fired his azz😂
Monty Williams was absolutely awful in Detroit. He needs to be in jail for robbery.
The Detroit Pistons on Wednesday fired coach Monty Williams after one season, absorbing the remaining $65 million on his contract. Stupid move!
Mark Jackson would be a great hire!!! Jackson or Earl Watson
Good, he a horrible coach
Good get him out of here!!!
