This is hilarious.

If I’m Monty, I’m retiring to a quiet town and sitting on my free $65M for the rest of my life :lol:

Whoa what are the Pistons doing... They had just signed him to the highest per for any coach last season... That's a big contract to eat for the next 4 years.

Crazy thing is, he didn't want to be there in the first place he turned down Detroit a few times and then the Pistons just offered so much money he couldn't say no.... and then it literally increased the $$$ all other coaches started getting... just for a one year 14 win season for $80 million.

He was going to take a break from coaching before getting hired by the Pistons.

Now he can take a break from coaching with an extra $78 million in his bank account for one year's work.

New FO in charge now. They hate keeping the coach of a previous regime.

Absolutely hilarious though, good for Monty. Get that bag

He kind of gave up last year you could tell he didn't want to be there. Just kept saying the same thing over and over again in press conferences about "this loss is on me I've got to do better" heard it like 60 times last year.

Detroit was a mess last season top to bottom. Can't believe Richard Greico is eating this after 1 year

For sure, which I get... However I would have thought that they'd give him at least the first half of this season to right the ship before eating that much salary.

What a fleecing. Well done by Monty. Now he needs to ask himself if he should sit at home for 5 years and collect $65M (and end his coaching career) or get back into the fold.

Woj says it was their ownership's decision to fire Monty, not their new FO's.

It's really understated how bad last season was for them. They were actually trying to win.

Rajakovic was an assistant under Williams during his time with the Phoenix Suns.

C'mon Masai, bring Monty on as an assistant coach under Darko!

So what happens next year, when they pay another coach, and still end up at the bottom of the league?

True poverty franchise behaviour.
