After a disappointing first season with the Detroit Pistons, head coach Monty Williams has been fired by team owner Tom Gores. The team finished last in the Eastern Conference and won just 14 games, setting an NBA record by losing 28 consecutive games before finally getting a win in December.
The decision to let go of Williams was made after his lack of success on the court led to his dismissal, despite signing a lucrative contract with the Pistons. General manager Troy Weaver had previously hired Williams, but their relationship soured due to Weaver’s displeasure with the team’s performance.
Despite their recent struggles, the Pistons are optimistic about their future and hope to rebuild under new leadership. The team has had four consecutive lottery picks in recent years, including standout Cade Cunningham. In addition, they selected Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, and Ausar Thompson in the draft. With their best odds at securing the top pick in the upcoming draft according to Tankathon, Detroit is looking forward to adding more young talent to its roster.
The Pistons hope that a new coach can help guide their young talent to future success on the court and return them to their former glory as a playoff contender.
