The Pistons will pay Monty Williams so much money NOT to coach them

0

Monty Williams was a big-splash hire for the Detroit Pistons last offseason. Sure, the franchise was rebuilding, but maybe he could bring some of the magic he made in Phoenix with the Suns.

Instead, the Pistons won 14 games in 2023-24. No big deal, right? He had years to work with a young team that could develop.

Nope. On Wednesday, the Pistons fired him. And per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, he had a ton of money left on his contract. Which means the owners of the Pistons will now be paying (checks notes) some $65 million NOT to coach their team.

It’s a head-scratcher given where the Pistons are at. But, uh, good for Williams?
