NBA: Pistons fire Coach with over $65 million left on record contract

 

One season in, Detroit paid for a lot of future endeavors for Coach Monty Williams but fired him Wednesday with more than $65 million left on his record six-year, $78.5 million contract he signed prior to the 2023-24 season, according to ESPN.
Williams, the NBA Coach of the Year just two years ago, led the Pistons to an NBA-worst 14-68 record.

The Pistons hired Williams with that record contract in hopes he could lead a turnaround in Detroit, but the season instead turned into an embarrassment.

Detroit set an NBA record by losing 28 straight games in a single season and tied the overall record set by the 76ers over two seasons.

The 52-year-old Williams surely knew he had a tall task ahead of him when he signed his record six-year pact, but the Pistons showed little to no growth this past year.

New team president Trajan Langdon first dismissed general manager Troy Weaver, and he now will be choosing his own coach after firing Williams.

This firing adds to what has been a wild four years for Williams.
