Firing Monty was the right move


I find it interesting that Vinson went to Detroit even knowing Monty would be fired.

To me it shoes trajan valued him

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?


We can only hope. Willie to me is Monty 2.0

I never remember this happening lol. Tom Benson was our owner when Monty was fired and I don’t remember anyone saying we were racist. They just said Monty didn’t deserve to get fired- which at the time wasn’t a bad argument.


It was a big story at the time, though admittedly largely pushed by Stephen A Smith. Was just such an odd thing towards one of the only teams with a black gm.

I remember Stephen A saying Monty shouldn’t have been fired because he had just guided the team to the playoffs but he wasn’t pushing the race button on it. Stephen A does say some dumb race baiting stuff but this wasn’t one of them. Many people questioned why Monty was fired at the time- he had just got us into the playoffs.

Haha, sorry. I read your post as if you were saying that 100% never happened, no doubt for sure. The joy of interpreting the written word.

Why would Monty want to be an assistant? He has enough money to ride off into the sunset.

Monty being Willie’s assistant would be quite the turn of events. I wouldn’t be mad at it though, I still have love for Monty. I just don’t see why Monty would feel the need to work.

This organization I swear. So the big assistant hire will be the guy the worst team in the league fired as a head coach? I hope Lakers hire Monty so we don’t have to.

I like Monty but I don’t think he would help us offensively.

Given the Lakers’ ownership, this sounds like something they would do.

They would lowball Monty to save money because the Pistons are still paying out the arse for him. And Monty would take it because his career is pretty much kaput after Detroit.

If AD likes Monte, he may get hired.

FFS, look at his run in Detroit. Talk about a guy who would let LeBron call the shots as long as he gets paid.

I spoke with Marcus Thornton and he fricking hated Monty. Granted Marcus was a selfish player but he intimated that he wasn't the only one

Thornton is not a guy who I would rely on. Like you said, he was selfish and probably did not like anyone who expected him to be somewhat disciplined.
