The Pistons are moving on from Monty Williams just one year after giving him a record-setting deal, dismissing the head coach following a 14-68 season.
The Detroit Pistons are ending the Monty Williams era after one season. Williams has been let go as head coach of the Pistons, ESPN reported Wednesday. The Pistons surprised the NBA world when they hired Williams in the 2023 offseason, luring him with a record deal after he had been fired by the Phoenix Suns a few weeks prior. Williams landed a six-year, $78.5 million contract from Detroit, which at the time was the largest contract ever for an NBA coach.
Detroit opted to reshape its front office following the season, hiring New Orleans Pelicans general manager Trajan Langdon to become its next president of basketball operations in late May. Shortly after, general manager Troy Weaver stepped down. The decision to fire Williams was made at the ownership level, ESPN reported. The move comes exactly one week prior to the start of the 2024 NBA Draft.
