Lol damn. The man isn’t even 20 games in and we already have this being posted. He literally just took the suns (which he built from a 30 win team) to multiple deep runs into the playoffs and finals (until booker, kd, and cp3 got hurt/forgot where the rim was but still decided to Chuck shots up).
I honestly felt this was the wrong hire before any games were played, simply because it was clearly Gores’ decision and not Troy’s. Imo you hire a GM to be the decision maker, and put your faith in them that they know what they’re doing. When you step in and override these big decisions then not only do you remove a significant part of the GM’s agency in the whole process, you also make it more difficult to evaluate the GM because it’s not their decisions that you’re evaluating.
In other words, for me, it’s less about whether Monty is the right or wrong coach and more about the fact that the Pistons have a meddling owner who can’t stay out of his own way.

I mean… they fired Mo Cheeks half way through his first season.
The killer here is the fucking contract they gave him.
Obviously they are going to ride Monty out for at least two years.
Too early to tell… but this is NOT a good start.
This team is FAR more talented than a 2-11 start.
