Suns set to follow Lakers in Monty Williams arms race

As Monty Williams prepares for coaching the 76ers through their second-round series against Toronto, he will have a lot going on during the day interviewing with both the Suns and Lakers between now and Game 1 on Saturday night.

Two reports today detail the level to which both franchises seem desperate to hire Williams to fill their head-coaching vacancies.

First it was Bill Oram from The Athletic reporting that anyone who’s ever worked for the Lakers is on their way to Philadelphia on Thursday to try to seal the deal on Williams.
