Pistons have fired Monty Williams

[Don Homer]

that team is still gonna suck. one of the most atrocious rosters ever

 

[Don Homer]

that aint even accurate. no fan is sad about this. they're all rejoicing

Also it's crazy how a business can absorb this cost. Assuming that the next coach gets at least $12M. That's an unbudgeted hit to payroll. For a smaller franchise too. I am absolutely fascinated on the finances of NBA teams. Like what does the statements look like.

Pistons are not a small market team. There is no cap for coaches and Gores one of the riches owners in NBA.

$65M left.

So 20M from Suns, plus 65M from the Pistons. Wow.

What happens if he gets another head coaching job, is the buyout reduced? Same if he gets an assistant role?

More than likely they'll go the cheaper route with a coach that can grow along with the roster, otherwise it makes no sense to fire Monty.

What a waste.

LAKERS

No man are you crazy?

Pistons are retarded. They aren't going to be good anytime soon with that roster. I would have kept him on at least 2 more years before even considering firing Monty.

Exactly there’s no reason for this.

Is there any offset language in the deal cause if not, do it Jeanie!!!

all depends on the contract the coach signs and the nature of the 'firing.'

Sometimes it is mutual: The Pistons parted ways with Larry Brown because Brown wanted to coach the Knicks.

A team might have a clause that allows them to fire the coach without having to pay the full amount, or they might be able to pay the difference if they get another coaching gig. Or the coach may be in demand and be able to negotiate a fully guaranteed contract.

Wasting money paying multiple coaches when the team is trash is crazy lol. Particularly with that type of contract.

 

[thenatural]

God no

Cassell deserves better

Exactly. Personally, I'm tired of seeing black coaches getting placed in a terrible situation and expected to make the playoffs in year two with a shytty roster made by the GM. Give Sam a shot at the Cavs job.

With how desperate they were to sign him, if the bolded was actually the case.
