In the end, the Detroit Pistons got their man after all.
It just took over a month and one of the largest coaching contracts in NBA history to get it done.
The Athletic reported on Wednesday night that Monty Williams, the 2022 NBA Coach of the Year with the Phoenix Suns, agreed in principle to become the Pistons next coach. The deal is reportedly worth $72 million over six years with options and incentives for seven and eight years that could raise the value of the deal to $100 million.
Williams $12 million annual salary makes him the highest paid coach in the NBA.
