The Detroit Pistons will pay Williams 65 million dollars in compensation.
Williams was also fired by the Phoenix Suns in May 2023 and received 20 Million dollars in compensation from the Suns.
Williams earned 85 million dollars for doing nothing.
And during that time, Monty has the biggest contract for a NBA coach before coach Erik Spo was paid more by the Heat with $100m++. Yeah, he was paid handsomely without doing anything specially for Detroit. But still though, the question is whether he can still or some time willing to hire him after what he did to the Pistons?
So he better be not gamble all that money he got, and be a good investor because that money might not long.
So now we have the Lakers and the Pistons searching for a new coach next season so let's see who will they get to turnaround their franchise.
In fact, it's good to see that the NBA has begun to value coaches more and offer them higher salaries than they used to. In Monty's case, this is certainly too much, considering the poor results that the team has achieved under his coaching. However, it's worth noting that there are also many players in the NBA who get multi-million dollar salaries while sitting on the bench for most of the season.
