Monty Williams Fired

[AmareIsGod]

No Draymond, please and thank you. Add him to the list with Harden and Kyrie.

No Dillon Brooks as well.

I can play this game too. No Miles Bridges.

[Charlie Smithy!]

But what about Mikal Bri...

No Isaiah Thomas

Of all those I would take Dillon Brooks. He’s a pest.

[Split T]

Dillon Brooks is the last guy I’d take. We don’t Josh Okogie thinking he’s Booker.

[JeremyG]

I don’t have a problem with signing Harden. Key word “signing.” If he wants to sign for what we can pay him, then great.

How will this move look if Denver goes on to win the title?

Unless Booker and KD lost faith in Monty's ability to lead the team, firing him is looking like an increasingly poor decision as each game passes and the potential candidates become less promising.

Moar Shamet!!!

I'm inclined to agree. We didn't have a championship roster. That's more because James Jones botched so many decisions around the margins over the last few years (many, I'm sure because of Sarver) than it is because of Monty.

[Split T]

Perhaps the talk that it was somewhat of a mutual decision was true. They told Monty, hey we gotta do something different and he decided he didn’t want to. He’s gonna live or die with his scheme and not willing to adapt. In that case it was the right move.

[Drewsprocket]

In spite of my dislike of Flex’s voice and how he talks and his clear bias for CP3, he at least makes sense in what he said about Monty’s shortcomings and the team’s intentions to cast a wide net and search for a coach who wants to coach the rest of the team not just play favorites to KD and Book and have them dominate the ball all the time.

I don't know. I was a big supporter of Williams but his slow adjustments and suspect game planning got to me in the end. Let's see who we end up with and how we look next season before coming to conclusions. I do agree that a lot of the blame goes to Jones as well. Haliburton anyone?

Seems to me that the Suns played very differently with Rubbio. I don't think Monty was going to live or die with a system, but I do think he's the kind of guy to stick to his guns on personnel decisions. Maybe they disagree on who to pursue this summer? I, obviously, just made that up.
