Pistons fire coach Monty Williams after just one season

[mrbowling300]

Prior to being hired by the Pistons, Williams was NBA coach of the year with the Phoenix Suns, and he became the best coaching candidate on the market after he was fired by the Suns. Williams initially signed a six-year deal worth about $78 million with the Pistons and team owner Tom Gores. The firing leaves five years and more than $65 million remaining on the deal, just a year after Williams succeeded Dwane Casey.

Are coaching contracts guaranteed?

Is he getting all $65m?

Is he also getting paid from the suns yet?

What an amazing lifestyle and career path

Is he getting all $65m?

Yes

Is he also getting paid from the suns yet?

Yes

Between the Pistons and Suns, he'll get paid 85 million to not coach their teams

Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in LA

This was a dumb move....the Pistons showed some spark after the losing streak. They have a good young nucleus....I just wonder
if their young guys like Cunningham and Ivey were complaining because he gives tough love like in PHO with Ayton.
