A couple of hours ago, we talked about how the Detroit Pistons were seriously pursuing former Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans (and Hornets) Head Coach Monty Williams.
Well, it looks like their tireless pursuit paid off, as it was just announced by The Athletic’s Shams Charania and James L. Edwards that Williams and the Pistons agreed to a contract. And brother, did Williams get paid.
Breaking: Monty Williams and the Detroit Pistons have agreed in principle on a six-year, $72 million deal for Williams to become the franchise’s new head coach, sources tell me and @JLEdwardsIII.
