On June 20, Beijing time, with the arrival of the NBA offseason, many teams have begun to operate actively, the Raptors and Sika reached a 4-year 189 million contract extension, to be honest, the Pacers have no problem giving such a big contract, after all, it is not easy for a small ball city like Indiana to keep stars, they are undoubtedly a wise choice to do so, and Sika's style of play is very suitable for the Pacers, with his help, the Pacers will still be the favorite team in the playoffs next season.
In addition, the Warriors' player Payton Jr. chose to execute the 9.1 million contract next season, he will continue to stay with the Warriors, Payton Jr. chose to execute the contract is expected, if he leaves the Warriors, he will definitely not be able to get such a big contract, after all, there are too many injuries, the Warriors have always wanted to take Caruso, and proposed a high-priced trade, they want Caruso to replace Payton's position, but for now, it is estimated that they will give up chasing Caruso.
In addition, there is also a hot news today, according to ESPN, the Pistons chose to fire Monty Williams, and then the Pistons officially announced that they cut Monty. To be honest, many fans didn't expect Monty to leave class so early, after all, he only reached a 6-year 78.5 million contract with Monty last year, and there is a 2-year team option, which can reach a maximum salary of hundreds of millions, but the Pistons laid him off in one year.
Last year, he just sent the largest coach contract in history, and he gave it up this year, and the management operation of the Pistons is also speechless, not to mention Monty's coaching ability, let's talk about the patience of the Pistons, Green Army coach Mazzulla After taking office, the outside world questioned him, but Stevens chose to believe, and as a result, his Mars basketball was a good success, helping the Celtics win the championship, Ham was cut this season, and even so, he coached for two seasons.
Monty's coaching ability is indeed not in line with the level of the first-paid coach in history, but he is not capable, it is estimated that many fans do not believe it, after all, they have led the Suns to the finals, in the playoffs against the Clippers, facing Tyronn Lue, the result cleverly arranged an Ayton dunk slam kill, I believe that many fans have a deep memory of the classic stunner of the Suns in the 21 playoffs, which is Monty's handiwork, and Tyronn Lue also admired Monty's tactics very much at that time.
Many fans may complain about Monty's coaching in the Pistons this season, and his frequent change of starters is puzzling, after all, a team does not have a stable starter, so they have been running in the starting lineup will also make the team unable to have chemistry, and it is difficult to chase the record, this season the Pistons have achieved the worst 28 consecutive defeats in history, and they have been nailed to the pillar of shame, which is Monty's responsibility, but he is not the main responsibility.
The main responsibility lies with the Pistons' players, although this team has hoarded a lot of talent in the past few years, but everyone has seen the operation of this team, most of the talents they choose are in the backcourt, Cunningham, Ivey and Hayes, and none of these three have the potential to become top stars, although the champion Cunningham is a template Doncic, but the defensive end is as weak as Doncic, and it is much worse than Doncic in terms of offensive and passing ability, and Hayes is a parallel commodity.
The team has always built around Cunningham, and Cunningham doesn't know how to win, plus the team has a lot of young players, it is difficult for them to carry out the tasks assigned by the team manager, so the team plays poorly, and the players are also responsible. It is reported that now the Pistons are interested in getting Borrego as the team's coach, to be honest, Borrego is not much better, and even not as good as Monty, Borrego's record in coaching the Hornets is very average, and his resume is not as good as Monty.
There is a saying that Monty's cut may be a good thing for him, and he finally left Detroit, a place of right and wrong, which will only make him more and more questioned here, and Monty has become a real winner after being cut, he has only been coaching for one year and got a 6-year 78.5 million contract, and this contract has 5 years and 65 million left, it is worth mentioning that the Suns also bought out Monty in advance, and there were 3 years and 31 million left when the buyout was made, which means that Monty coached in the past two years and earned a total of 109 million.
Now Monty being cut may be an opportunity for the Lakers, Monty can't bring young players, but he still has the ability to bring veterans, compared to Redick and others, he is obviously the best candidate among the current coaches, after all, the Lakers don't want to work with Vogel again, but the Lakers will probably not choose Monty, after all, the Lakers can't give such a big contract, and the main reason why they want Redick is that Redick is cheap.
With 14 wins this season, the Pistons' worst record in franchise history, and they don't have as many wins as the Celtics have in the playoffs. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Pistons and Monty? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
