Detroit realized that too as the Pistons just gave Williams a historic coaching contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to ESPN, Williams agreed to a six-year, $78.5 million deal to become the team&#8217;s new head coach. His new contract is the largest in NBA history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Monty Williams has agreed to a six-year, $78.5 million contract with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. It\u2019s the largest coaching deal in NBA history.<\/p>&mdash; Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wojespn\/status\/1664097848236048384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 1, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With an annual salary of $13.08 million, Williams leapfrogs <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbrief.com\/nba\/36262-nba-coaches-salaries-highest-paid-coach-basketball\/\">the 2022-23 top 10 highest-paid NBA head coaches<\/a> including Gregg Popovich ($11.5 million), the Warriors&#8217; Steve Kerr ($9.5 million), former Sixers head coach Doc Rivers ($8.5 million), the Heat&#8217;s Erik Spoelstra ($8.5 million), former Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer ($8 million), former Raptors and new 76ers head coach Nick Nurse ($8 million), former Nets head coach Steve Nash ($8 million), the Mavericks&#8217; Jason Kidd ($8 million), the Pacers&#8217; Rick Carlisle ($7.25 million) and the Clippers Tyron Lue ($6.5 million) to become the league&#8217;s highest-paid coach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most interesting about this list is that three (Rivers, Budenholzer and Nash) are currently unemployed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When The Athletic&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1664088286116347904\">Shams Charania first dropped the news<\/a>, he reported Williams&#8217; deal was for six years, $72 million. But a short while later, ESPN&#8217;s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the new astounding sum of $78.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is great news for a coach who, despite leading the Suns to the NBA Finals in the 2020-21 season and being named the 2022 NBA Coach of the Year, was shockingly fired only two short weeks ago after being bounced in the Western Conference semifinals by the Nuggets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Williams was high on Detroit&#8217;s list, but he reportedly informed interested teams that he was unsure about coaching next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Detroit took a step back, their pursuit was undeterred. <\/p><div id=\"first-1012186478\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So instead of letting Monty ponder his next move, they enacted an aggressive courtship that, <a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/4567770\/2023\/05\/31\/monty-williams-pistons-head-coach\/\">according to Charania<\/a> included an action plan for how he could elevate the young team, a private plane to pick him up and take him to team owner Tom Gores&#8217; house and an offer he couldn&#8217;t refuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A week later, Detroit stole the sports news day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This historic contract, which should be finalized next week, gives the Pistons a leader with a winning record (367-336) and who has experience working with young teams and players as evidenced during his time with New Orleans (2010 &#8211; 2015).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And most importantly for the Pistons, it reinvigorates the Motown fanbase.<\/p><div id=\"first-3900253937\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monty Williams proved he was a great coach over his four years with the Phoenix Suns.
