A coach who has been fired each of the last 2 seasons & a franchise that has fired the most coaches the last 6 seasons? Monty & the Lakers are a match made in heaven.
It’s a contract… If he signs with the lakers it has nothing to do with his contract with Detroit…. If he wanted to be cool and he got paid from another team he could negotiate for a payout of less but… that’s his money
LA media and celebs will rain hellfire on Mark Jackson’s religious views. Agree with religion or not, unfortunately modern America doesn’t give you the freedom of speech if you’re not liberal or secular minded.
Someone nailed it. PC is the reason why he was fired from the warriors and no one hired him since then. A sad state of affairs in America, but call spade a spade.
@@shawncross5019 I knew somebody with no basketball knowledge was going to reply. Smh! The Lakers front office has been trash for over a decade. Long before any current player has gotten there. Smh! I hate dumb comments.
Our guess is as good as most "insiders" it seems. All these conflicting reports but no one outside of the small front office seems to truly know. I'll refrain from being overly critical of them based off (hit and miss) speculative reports although one thing I can say is that I'm sure fans and decision makers alike must feel drained by how dragged out this has been. I've been intrigued with Redick from the start in comparison to the list of underwhelming candidates (besides Ty Lue who was always a pipe dream). Then I preferred Hurley once his name became injected as he seemed to have just as high a perceived ceiling but with less of a risk but in retrospect that seems to have been a pipe dream as well. I would just commit to Redick assuming we can bring on a quality staff. A decision has to be made soon. Right?
Lakers got involved with Hurley. Big mistake. 6 years and 72 M. Now JJ wants 10M a year for 5 years. JJ also needs to add a former head coach or two to the Bench. Now the Lakers need 15 M to coach. Ham made 5M a Year. What did the Lakers offer JJ? They lowballed him for sure and that is the holdup. Lakers are frozen right now afraid to make a mistake.
Well… Monty can’t turn down the gig…. As that would surely void his pistons payments…as I suspect there is some sort of due diligence to getting a new coaching job included in that contract.
As a pistons fan we definitely sucked this year. But at times it felt like Monty Williams was sabotaging this team. Starting Hayes over Ivey. Blowing leads by playing all bench line ups. Pretty much every player except Cade regressed under him. Last year we intentionally tanked for wemby and somehow finished off this season even worse lol
Why would the Lakers want a losing coach? He didn't even figure out how to win last year because he was running the wrong offensive system. Why would we want him to ruin the Lakers this year
No confidence in the Lakers getting it right. Might as well hire Linda and Kurt Rambis as co-head coaches and Jay Mohr as an assistant. With a team minus of a strong and competent front office with experienced and smart basketball people (not to mention a strong and capable ownership group), I am not getting my hopes up. Step 1 would to be let Pelinka go and hire Bob Myers. Wishful thinking.
Given he had to be coaxed into coaching the Pistons, and his current wife is battling cancer, I don't think he would come back right now. Lakers need to stop BS’ing and hire Reddick.
I feel like JJ is a done deal. They must be assembling the coaching staff now before making an announcement. Monty has a history of not getting along well with his players. Monty will end up in Cleveland my bet.
Monty is a significant upgrade over Ham, but I still don't think he's what we need. Now Vogel wasn't the best candidate either, and he still won a chip with us. Many coaches come come in here and get 1 chip, but we are the Lakers. We want a coach with dynasty potential. I do not think Monty is an elite coach that can do that. I am not judging him based on his stint with Detroit, but rather his previous stints, which while successful, shows me he isn't the home run we need. Just seeing how he failed to involve Deandre Ayton's skill set into the offense shows me he doesn't have the elite tier of creativity to be someone who can help the Lakers win multiple rings. If we hire Monty, he will be fired within the next two years, playoff success or not. Now I'm not saying this means I think JJ is that elite coach, because he's a wild card, but I'm just saying that we need to get it right with this one. To me, Rondo is the smartest of all the names that were mentioned, even though he's not being considered for coach, and if one of these guys had him on their staff, I wouldn't be as worried if we don't have an elite tier coach, because I know we would have an elite staff around him.
@@Eastra3 You don't think Marty is an elite coach, but think JJ is? What is your reason other than he is white? Monty has demonstrated his elite coaching with the Suns, who team was far enferior than the current one coached by average at best coack Vogel.
The problems in clownland are bigger than hom...but as usual he's the easy target. Lakers had these problems b4 he even got there. Nice try tho. Without him yall wouldn't even have ring 17 😂
Seriously, all the lakers fans or anyone need to get off the Monty Willams wagon. Does it looks like the Detroit Pistons doing well with Monte? People enough . Damn
And further reward his Participation Trophy Coaching? It pays handsomely to be a bottom dweller apparently. *EASY MONEY. Monty, take a rest of life vacation. Its ok, the piña colada will be paid for.*
I would be happier with Monty Williams than Reddick. And these people who keep talking about Jackson...come on. Jackson has only coached 3 total years and hasn't coached for 10 years. He has a total record of 121-109. He's has two 2nd place finishes. He's not elite, but people talk about him like he's Phil Jackson. He's not. He's just an average coach.
Lakers need to flip their roster to have a chance to contend. 1. DLO opts in and get a sign & trade with two future 1R picks for Dejounte Murray. 2. Reaves / JHS gets traded for Cam Johnson. 3. Trade Rui & pick 17 for Wendell Carter. 4. Gary Trent jr for MLE. This makes the lakers a legit contender and future would be bright post LBJ. Dejounte Murray / Gabe V Gary Trent Jr / Max C Cam Johnson / Prince LBJ/Vando AD / Wendell Spencer Dinwiddie Christian Wood Cam Reddish Colin Castleton Max Lewis
Mark Jackson should be the number one choice!!! I'll take Monty Williams, who has YEARS of NBA head coaching experience over Redick, who has ZERO COACHING EXPERIENCE OF ANY KIND!!!!!! The Lakers' front office has no idea what they're doing AGAIN!!!!! Can you say Darvin Hamm??????
What was monty Williams losing steak last season with the pistons? And why hasn't Mark Jackson been given another head coaching job for so long. Sounds like the same people that want D Howard back when there's definitely some red flags.
Monty Williams isn't coaching next season. He's owed ~60 mill from his last contract that disappears as soon as he signs a new one. It would be fiscally irresponsible to not collect on it a bit, get his mind right, spend time with the family for a year or 2, then take a job when the contract is smaller.
A coach who has been fired each of the last 2 seasons & a franchise that has fired the most coaches the last 6 seasons? Monty & the Lakers are a match made in heaven.
A true circus- insert Michael Jackson eating popcorn meme
I'd much rather receive that pay from the Pistons and sit than actually get paid less from LA and work

PLEASE hire a coach so Lakers media can stop these terrible takes! 🙃

I cant get over bullshit and being WHITEBALLED!
Please Lakers hire Monty 😂
LeBron doesn't like him. You get JJ Rhetoric 😂

Keeping Magic and letting Pelinka go may have been best
Magic walked!
Magic knew LeBron was unbelievable😂
JJ was indeed hired as of 6/20/2024 according to Woj 4 years $8 million per year but I'm curious who rounds out his staff & hope Rajon is part of it

Monty hit the lottery. 😂

Would Monty be an assistant to JJ?

No way!
It's time for the Buss family to sell the Lakers.
I don't think the Lakers front office is competent enough to play a long game for Monty Williams.
Given he had to be coaxed into coaching the Pistons, and his current wife is battling cancer, I don't think he would come back right now. Lakers need to stop BS’ing and hire Reddick.
JJ REDDICK!
Get mr.Monty been waiting soo long .
Danton was a horrible coach. He rode Kobe until his Achilles blew out. I said some bad was going to happen up until that injury to Kobe.
I feel like JJ is a done deal. They must be assembling the coaching staff now before making an announcement. Monty has a history of not getting along well with his players. Monty will end up in Cleveland my bet.
Exactly bro
BS. Monty is a great coach. Detroit had a horrible roster. Host acting as if JJ who never coached before is better. What CAP!

381-404. That's Monty Williams. That's a sub 500 record as a head coach. Why would you want either one?
@eddiepo6924 hard to judge a record when the piston talent was absolutely rihno turd
JJ REDICK 3.5/10_____MONTY IS BELOW FRANK VOGEL WHO WAS A 7.5/10
(meanwhile Mark Jackson is 10+/10)
Mark Jackson 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He would probably take a big pay cut to coach
Monte trash & Mark Jackson trash. The only issue with JJ is that he won’t start wining until Lebron retires
No issue with the podcaster having absolutely no coaching experience?
Monte Coached A Team to Finals
JJ never Coached
Berago didn’t win
Imagine how much money Lakers will make in LeBrons farewell season
