Monty Williams is not expected to be open to a buyout of his contract with the Detroit Pistons this offseason, sources told Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports.
Williams signed a six-year, $78.5 million deal with the Pistons before this season.
The Pistons, who lost a league record 28-straight games earlier this year, are currently in last place in the Eastern Conference.

Wrong team

you're assuming it is a lock they'll sign a all star player. they'll likely have a hard time doing so. so their cap space isn't worth as much as you think. it will likely be spent on overpaying free agents if anything

LOL, brain fart! I was talking about DET but had just posted something about LaVine so my fingers still wanted to type CHI.
My point stands. DET was going to be bad this season. They signed Monty for 6 years so that he would be with them through the rebuild. Nobody thought that this squad was going to be good already. (Or at least they shouldn't have.) Monty was paid to teach, not win... so why judge him by his win total?
People jump in here and rant about his rotations like he's trying to make the playoffs or something. No, there was no coach, alive or dead, that was taking this team to the playoffs. They are currently developing players and hunting lottery balls. They succeeded on both counts.
I wouldn't expect them to give up their top 13 protected pick next season either. They will probably go get a vet like Tobias Harris to teach them some professionalism as they power through another losing season before attempting a playoff push in 25-26. And while they lose 50+ games next season, it won't be because Monty is a bad coach. I will be because the NBA incentivizes developing teams to lose.

Monty has never had a bad coaching season like how he’s having in Detroit the team personnel is not that great they need to be better all around it’s basically Cade Thompson & Duran the rest are trash jaden ivy idk what’s up with him I thought he’d be better maybe he needs a change of scenery
