Stephen A looks for excuses to use big words lmao. No one “coerced” Monty to sign a 70-plus million dollar contract.

Detroit Pistons are stupid for firing coach Monty Williams. How is it Monty fault that Detroit finished with the worst record in NBA basketball when Detroit basketball players don’t play defense? LOL. Next coach Detroit gets isn’t gonna do better than Monty because Detroit will be trash next basketball season LOL. I don’t like Stephen Smith saying Monty Williams was in purgatory with Detroit. So what. Every black basketball coach can’t be with a good basketball team. If Detroit would’ve gave Monty more time. It’s possible Detroit could make the playoffs in a few years if Detroit plays defense. I’m mad my hometown basketball team Cleveland Cavs fired their coach JB Bickerstaff. It’s not JB fault Cleveland don’t wanna play defense LOL.

What about when you have players not knowing how to take the ball out of bounds without getting a violation! Or how to play team defense! ????????♂️????????♂️????

Hey Detroit, overall your sports are moving in the right direction. The Lions should be good again this year, Michigan just won a national title, the Red Wings missed a playoff spot last year in heartbreaking fashion, but their future is bright, the Tigers are pretty meh but not awful. Overall pretty good.
And then there’s the Pistons. ???????? I’m sure Monty Williams wanted out, but the decision to fire him was not the right decision. He wasn’t your problem. Your problem is your entire organization. Your front office doesn’t understand that you have to build through the draft. You don’t live in a market free agents want to come to. You also don’t own your own arena. (As a Red Wings fan, thank you) If you want to upgrade concessions or bathrooms, that’s not your decision. It’s the Red Wing’s decision.
