Curious as to whether anyone here has any insight into Monty’s last few years coaching. Was reading an article in The Athletic about the Suns’ quick exit from the playoffs when this paragraph caught my eye:

“Less than a year ago, Ishbia hired Vogel on a five-year, $31 million deal to replace Monty Williams after the Suns had lost to eventual-champion Denver in the Western Conference semifinals. The decision to move on from Williams had its merits, as every sector of the Suns organization had lost faith in him. In his first season with the Detroit Pistons this year, Williams didn’t fare much better — the exact opposite, in fact, as the team posted its worst record ever.”

Anyone in Detroit/Phoenix/anywhere know what’s going on with Monty? I don’t follow the NBA much but was surprised with how his ending at Phoenix was characterized and how his first season at Detroit has gone.
