They were getting no interest from premier coaches and had to back up the truck. Simple as that. The pistons franchise stays struggling to recruit talent sadly.
Monty Williams to become next coach of the Detroit Pistons; largest coaching deal ever; EDIT: it’s over

Coaching game just got fukked all the way up with this deal. I love to see a black man get it like that though. And with that kind of money they couldn't fire that nikka even if he fukked Gores wife and daughter.
If all goes well he'll be their version of Pop...building that culture for the next decade.
Ty Lue bout to get a baggg thrown at him. Phoenix been lusting over him for a minute now.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
The only spots left where Phoenix & Toronto.
They have Duren, Wiseman, and Stewart already and you want another big
I'm a Suns fan that wants at least one of those bigs
No one else was looking for Monty for a coaching gig so Detroit outbidded themselves 
Salute for finessing billionaires but will instantly become the next Marc Jackson, Dwayne Casey, and Tony Dungy when they are tired of not getting over the hump and would want a wm to do it for them after the black man did the hard work of building that roster and installing a winning culture

Monty by all accounts a stand up human being with a beautiful family, always worth celebrating a breh like that running a dumbass desperate billionaire's pockets. 
While still far from perfect he def leveled up majorly as a coach from his start in NOLA to his run in PHX. Hopefully he's learned even more from that time coaching an actual "contender" to make another leap, he is going to need it to find success with that Pistons roster he's inheriting.

Anything less than a play-In appearance for them would be a disappointment barring injury.
