Wonder if Trajan tries to poach Willie?

Getting fired on Juneteenth is wild. Won’t be surprised if Kenny Atkinson becomes the next head coach and reunite with Langdon.

Curious about this, all reports at the time of Willie’s hiring was Trajan was the one pushing for him.

Willie to Detroit and Griff gives the HC job to JB?

WHAT on the monty thing

They are going to pay him 65 million NOT to Coach???

Wow. Its the right move, but I am beyond shocked by that.

Good for Trajan though. I wonder if he makes a run at Borrego like everyone else seems to want to.

I'm going to be pissed when Langdon puts together a good coaching staff over there while we're stuck with Green.

This would be great, but I think the chances of this are...extremely low to say the least.

The dichotomy between what Detroit does and what we do will be extremely fascinating for the next few years.

Fascinating……depressing…..either way. You can see it coming.

I don't see Langdon going for Willie but it would make sense in some ways.

Willie is a players coach unlike hard arse Monty.

He's also from the area. Please....

He’s also someone that can be sold as he took a young underachieving team to the playoffs twice and increased wins every single season.

Then a BI trade would REALLY make sense for Detroit as that vet to help install his system.

Trajan is smart. Trajan will choose Borrego over Willie

JB already failed trying to coach a young team, I really don’t see why he would make sense on another young team. JB would have to be more of a vet team type coach. Plus by all accounts also Griff was the one forcing the JB hire, Trajan always loved Willie. It really just makes to much sense for Willie to Detroit and JB take over Pels

Does this mean Trajan poached Fred Vinson and not Monty? Or did Fred just get a text saying to stop packing the UHaul?

Willie is from Detroit, grew up there and went to college there. It really would make a lot of sense for him to go back and coach there.

I remember a Monty quote from his time here that he was tired of teaching and wanted to coach. Firing Monty from a rebuild was definitely the right decision even with all of that money owed #BasketballReasons.

The potential for Willie to go to Detroit is interesting, is there a better option for the Pels than Borrego? It seems like he'd have a lot of leverage to get a deal above his value with so many teams interested in him, which would make him harder to fire if he didn't work out.
