Monty williams

The Detroit Pistons: The Detroit Pistons have reportedly fired coach Monty Williams after just one season. This surprising move comes despite Williams having a hefty $65 million remaining on his contract which will be paid to the veteran over the next five years.

However, with a new front office led by President Trajan Langdon, the Pistons are charting a new course. According to a report by ESPN, this decision to let Williams go stemmed from ownership. Detroit will now embark on another coaching search.

During Williams' first year as head coach for the Pistons, the team lost 28 straight games, the longest losing streak within one season in NBA history. The side finished at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and held the worst record (14-68) in the league having won only 14 of their 82 games
