Monty Williams, Pistons Agree to Massive Deal

Monty Williams was honored with the prestigious Coach of the Year Award in 2022.

However, despite his previous success, Williams faced an unexpected turn of events when he was relieved of his duties as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns following a disappointing playoff exit just one year later.

The 51-year-old coaching candidate was highly sought after by numerous NBA teams, given his impressive track record. Since 2019, Williams had played a pivotal role in the Suns’ success.

On Wednesday night, it was reported that Williams had reached a preliminary agreement with the Detroit Pistons.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Pistons and Williams have agreed in principle to a lucrative six-year contract valued at an astounding $72 million, solidifying Williams as the next head coach of the franchise.

While the agreement has yet to be finalized, Charania suggests that the deal is expected to be completed in the coming days.
