The Detroit Pistons have finally found a suitable candidate for their open coaching position after more than two months of searching.
Former Phoenix Suns coach Monte Williams is expected to agree to a deal with the Pistons worth more than $10 million annually in the coming days, a league source told the Free Press on Wednesday. Williams, the NBA Coach of the Year in 2022, will earn one of the league’s highest salaries thanks to an incentive-rich contract.
According to ESPN, the contract is for six years and $78.5 million, making him the highest-paid NBA coach of all time. According to The Athletic, there are incentives that could push the contract value up to $100 million plus team options for seventh and eighth years.
