Monty Williams Fired (Hired by Detroit)

[Mainstreet]

Are there even caves in Detroit?

We can make him a man cave.

 

[AzStevenCal]

We can make him a man cave.

As long as he has some place to hibernate when the Suns are playing.

Nah. It only has to be temporary. We will have to get him out of there stat after the interviews.

Maybe an igloo?

There are some gigantic buildings that he could burrow in.

... I was going to link the Silverdome but it seems they finally tore that down.

How about the former headquarters and factory building of the American Motor Company?

I haven't seen this one but I remember seeing a bunch of photos of similar abandoned buildings in Cleveland and then some from around the world, it's shocking and more than a little depressing to see them.

Yeah, I expect a lot of the people who used to work in those buildings and live in those cities are now here in Phoenix.

 

[Germz249]

I've been thinking. You need to get out more.

Would you be willing to check out the interviews in Detroit, in other words, take one for the team?

Shoot.. How much is the pay and the guarantee? It would be a job where I would do crap just to get canned..

Ah, it's just a temporary gig and you might have to pay for airfare and armored transport.

 

[Germz249]

I rather take my chances back in Iraq or Afghanistan lol..

Right? It’s shocking to see such an impressive structure that’s just going to be allowed to collapse into rubble. You’d think they could alt-purpose it somehow.

It would be amazing if they were able to create some type of industrial loft setup built around small boutique shops.

The History Channel has a whole show on this. Sometimes they find these things in the most remote places. I remember seeing a Central American country and this HUGE building was overgrown by the jungle. Just like a Mayan or Aztec ruin. Turns out when slavery ended in the USA, the slave owners just moved southward and continued that model. The building I saw was a former sugar plantation and factory. They found the records of who owned it, and they were a multimillionaire from that one business. Back then it would be like a Billionaire now. Everyone forgot it was even there.

I enjoy watching this program. IIRC, it's called Mysteries of the Abandoned.

Good for Monty.

 

[95pro]

Even a man of principle falls to the all mighty dollar.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty should be paid top dollar.

He was Coach of the Year in 2022 and averaged over 50 wins a season the last three seasons.

I don't know what he really is but I don't begrudge him the opportunity to make a boatload of cash. I think he can walk into and eventually away from Detroit and still hang onto his prinicples.

 

[Phrazbit]

Too much money to pass up I suppose. He seemed really burned out down the stretch here, I thought he'd take a year off.

That is a good get for Detroit. He is good at working with younger guys, getting them to what is expected of a pro player and the effort it takes to win in this league.

Even a man of principle falls to the all mighty dollar.

And how exactly did Monty "fall to the all mighty dollar"? By taking a job? He somehow compromised his principles by taking a job? Doing what he loves? Dude isn't even here anymore and the spin cycle continues

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty could earn over $100 million with incentives.

The Suns fired Monty, not vice versa.

[Mainstreet]

I'm uncertain on the $20 million that Monty was scheduled to receive from the Suns, but it could be that he does not receive it since he is taking a new head coaching job.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty receives the largest coaching contract in NBA history. Adrian Wojnarowski reports he will receive $78.5 million.
