Detroit is going through an executive shake-up after hiring Trajan Langdon as head of basketball operations, and there’s a possibility the franchise could part ways with coach Monty Williams despite him signing him last year to a six-year contract and $73 million salary , as absurd as it may seem, given that he didn’t have a remotely competitive team for the whole of last season.
And here a story from the past comes into play: before being hired by the Suns, in 2019, Monty Williams had been close to the bench of the Lakers, who then agreed with Frank Vogel. And even if JJ Redick now seems close to becoming the head coach in Los Angeles, perhaps with James Borrego as assistant, the fact that the announcement will only come between the end of the 2024 Finals and the draft leaves room for doubts and alternative rumors.
Marc Stein gives them substance, stating that a possible dismissal of Williams by the Pistons duo Langdon-Holden would pave the way for the coach’s move, in any case one highly regarded in the environment, to the Lakers’ bench.
