Pistons fire coach Monty Williams after one season, owe him $65 million

The Detroit Pistons on Wednesday fired coach Monty Williams after one season, absorbing the remaining $65 million on his contract.

That's a big LMAO!

Even ESPN(who would praise Bronny if he tied his shoe the right way) had to admit that Bronny is just not an NBA player at this point in his life. Could he improve in 3 years and justifiably make a roster? Sure.

Bronny doesn't have to play away G League games. No commercial flights for Lebron's son.

Bronny sounds like a good guy with a good head on his shoulders. Wouldn't you step in and say 'enough with the preferential treatment, I need to be my own man'?

I guess he's going to join the Lakers when the GLeague team is on the road.

Horrible plan by the Lakers. Right now he needs all the court time in the GLeague he can earn. Because right now, even the GLeague is at least a level or two above his ability.

Boy are the Sixers a punchline these days.

I guess they forgot it's hard to win games when you baby your star players.

I've been complaining about Lakers catering to LBJ with Bronny.

But, I better give them props for drafting Knecht.

Celtics averaging 50 three point FGA per game. League average is 37 attempts per game.

Viewship is going down league wide. League thinks players putting up video game numbers(because good defense is prohibited by NBA rules) is a good thing.

Old school fans want to see some post play(not 5 out offenses), screens where you have to be standing still, etc...

Also, remember the days when you had the big matchups(Kareem vrs Parrish or Malone) (Wilkins vrs Bird) (Worthy vrs McHale) (Cooper vrs Bird) (Cooper vrs Dr. J) ( Dennis Johnson vrs Magic) (Jordan vrs Dumars or Starks) Those days are gone. Just illegal screen until you get best offensive player against worst defender.

Kareem, Moses, Wilt, Parrish, McHale, Gilmore, Shaq would be defensive liabilities in today's game. They were forces in a more balanced league.

Golden State was fun when it was new. Now everybody is doing it and it is wearing thin.

Wow is right. Didn’t see that coming at all. I guess nobody is ever truly off the trading block.

Admittedly Luka is a good fit for the Lakers. A weaselly whiner who will get all the calls.

I really feel badly for LeBron! He was totally blind-sided by this trade and must feel like the rug has been pulled out from under him! You would think, given the control LeBron has over Laker management (fire Walton, Hire Vogel, Fire Vogel, Hire Ham, Fire Ham, draft Bronny, give Bronny a guaranteed multi-year deal, gift Bronny playing time) and the fact that AD's agent is Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, he would have caught wind, but no! The Lakers, and Klutch Sports hid all of this from LeBron! They have really done a disservice to LeBron. /s

No. Kyrie Irving absolutey shredded the Wolves in the playoffs and I love his game. Great player. Luka the Bitch because he conducts himself like a little bitch on the floor. Incessantly whining while getting away with all kinds of crap. Then he trash talks the opposing player who gets called for a bullshit foul on him.

I watched the news conference....Jason Kidd looked like he was so pissed. Granted Christie is a good player but there should have been 3-4 more picks included from LA. Rumor is the new owner bought the team from Mark Cuban and wants to move it to Vegas but the are in the 4th largest market.

This will get the fans pissed enough to have that happen.

Great trade for the Lakers.....Luka's biggest problem is controlling what shape he is in.....270-280lbs and out of shape.

No it won't. The NBA won't allow anyone to move to Las Vegas. They want to collect the massive franchise fee for putting an expansion team in Las Vegas.

That was the big issue for Phoenix. Doncic was heading for a supermax deal and he's in poor shape for an NBA player. He's often injured and has missed double digit games every year.
