The firing of former Detroit Pistons coach Monty Williams was met with mixed reactions, but Draymond Green had little sympathy for the former coach. According to Green, Detroit’s decision to fire Williams after one year without giving him a chance to build the team as intended was unfair.
Green expressed his disbelief that a coach could be given such a hefty contract and then fired without being given the chance to succeed. In his view, building culture and success in a team takes time, something that can’t happen overnight. However, Williams won’t be hurting for money as the Pistons will be paying him approximately $65 million over the next five years not to coach the team.
On the latest episode of “The Draymond Green Show,” Green tried to make sense of Detroit’s decision and why they would let go of such a successful coach after just one season. He viewed Williams’ situation as somewhat crazy but potentially beneficial in the long run, as he gets to spend time with his family while still receiving a substantial sum of money.
In conclusion, Draymond Green believes that Monty Williams was unfairly fired by Detroit and that building culture and success in a team takes time. Despite this, he views Williams’ situation as potentially beneficial in the long run, as he gets to enjoy some well-deserved rest and spend time with his family while still receiving financial support.
