Without a coach since the last day of the regular season, the Pistons have still not named a successor to Dwane Casey. A week ago, we were talking about a match between Kevin Ollie and Charles Lee, simply because their number 1 target, Monty Williams, had refused an offer, explaining that he wanted to take a year off from his family.
But Detroit leaders decided to insist and The Athletic reports that they will make him a “meaningful offer”. Cut by the Suns after the elimination against the Nuggets, the Coach Of The Year 2022 still had three years of contract, and he is not in need since he left with a check for around 20 million dollars. Perhaps this new proposal could make him give in.
Like Ollie, Williams knows GM Troy Weaver well since they worked together at OKC. If the latter insists, it is undoubtedly that he saw an opening. The Athletic concludes by explaining if Williams were to refuse this new proposal, it is Charles Lee, assistant to the Bucks, who should succeed Dwane Casey on the bench of the Pistons.
