Monty Williams was fired on Juneteenth. Now he gets to collect $65M to stay at home. Won't He do it?

Why would they fire him? I know the Pistons are terrible, but shit-canning the guy after one season seems to be a shitty move.

More importantly, why wait until now? You're not going to find a great coach. It's a shit attempt to look active for the fans.

Maybe they have their eye on somebody who just became available ala Joe Madden.

If Monty is not your guy, why make him one of the highest paid coaches of all time and fire him after one season?

The funny thing is I read that there has been a push by fans for Monty now that he's available.

Yep, makes no sense at all.

But I guess he can laugh all the way to the bank

They just hired Trajan Langdon to run their basketball stuff and he probably wants his own guy. Still a lot of money to eat.

It sounds like Langdon was fine with Williams. It sounds like the owner and Arn Tellem wanted him gone. It just seems like something you do immediately after a leadership transition.

As a fan, I wouldn't be excited about you eating $70M unless you spent another $100M to hire a proven stud. They aren't doing that.

There have not been any major hirings since the season ended though. The top guys are still available.

Didn't they hire a new front office? Very expensive firing though.

Imagine giving up 4 unprotected picks for a guy who only wanted to go to you.

This is a move you make when your job is on the line. I thought Thibs has done a solid job developing late draft picks.

How? Thibs didn't make these moves. He's still winning with mediocre rosters.

I think he has just about worn out his welcome there. He runs every into the ground. Look at the playoffs and how everyone was hurt this year.

Do you think he ran that team into the ground? I'm not going to pretend I've seen every Knicks game, but the numbers say he played his best players less than many other playoff teams did. Also, load management hasn't reduced injuries. It appears guys get hurt more with load management.

This is one helluva roll of the dice here. I thought this was the plan last season but it's undeniable now. The Knicks in essence, have just put the old Villanova Wildcats squad together for the NBA. I don't thinkThibs will get whacked, but if he does expect them to go after Jay Wright I guess.

This move, might have just made them a legitimate title contender

Lots of picks. Lots of them. And just think — the Suns sent the same amount of picks (4 unprotected 1sts and a swap) plus Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson for Durant :shock:

LaVine has his faults but the man’s got to be worth one 1st. If not a 1st next year, take it this year. Fuck it.

He is but AK keeps asking for major hauls for him. Which kills his trade value.

Is he? It sounds like he wants an expiring bad contract.

I don't think he is just going to give Lavine away.. He wanted multiple picks and a starter just last season
