With the raptors do you realize the players that came out of his system recently he’s a good coach for sure lol..

I totally respect and appreciate the honesty when Monty said it was about the 💵💵💵 in large part why he took the job. It irks me when an athlete or coach says it's never about the 💵💵💵 when obviously it is so his candor there was truly a breath of fresh air. 💯
Suns fan here. Absolutely love Monty on and off the court and you guys officially have an outstanding man leading these dudes. All love from Phoenix 🤝🏻
@@derwingaston1820 He pauses a lot and uses fillers such as ums frequently but you're right, I think that is still burdening his mind. But I think once Monty steps front and starts showing promise from the team and roster, then that will go away.
From one of the MANY fans of Monty in PHX, our loss is DETROIT'S gain... Monty is not only one of if not the best coach in the NBA, more importantly he is a great man and leader of young men! Monty, these trials in life as you know help shape all of us. You are a good man and coach, it was wrong of PHX to let you go, but the Lord will continue to bless you and your family..stay strong and walk the walk as the Lord walks beside you. It's obvious that the Lord placed you in Detroit to guide other young men on the right path in life. God bless you and your family. ✝️🙏
Early detection is everything when it comes to breast cancer. In January, 2017, my wife had a mass on her breast that was visible to the naked eye and having worked in the medical field I shouldve known yet we didnt seek medical attention until March. When the biopsy returned with a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis we knew that our life as we knew it was over. She was gone by 2021. Again early detection is everything. When you lose your high school sweetheart after 25 years together its extremely difficult to get the train back on the tracks.
My heart goes out to you brother. Monty Williams sharing his story my have saved lives. And maybe someone reading your story will also save lives So thanks for sharing your story. Best wishes.
Im thinking Bojan is at home in his country enjoying spending time with his family, but also im thinking Bojan might be getting traded. I like Monty Williams already. His answers seemed earnest and straightforward and the fact that 99.9% of the current Pistons roster showed up during vacation time for a 17 win team for a new coach press conference says a lot. Looking forward to the draft, summer league, pre season and regular season.
Does anyone notice the awkwardness of this press conference? There is obvious tension between Troy and Tom. I wish Monty well, but I don't know how he can focus on fixing this team while walking along his wife through cancer. Gores is desperate and this move is an obvious hail Mary response to frustrated fans. I hope this ends well for our team.
@kennethgray2510 you right I believe Tom wanted Monty and Troy wanted probably Kevin Ollie. I can definitely tell they had different guys in mind. Remember reports came out Tom didn't like any of the finalist Troy had between Kevin, Jarred Collins or Charles Lee.
Troy is so interesting. Dude seems to basically thug other teams in trades and pretty clearly has solid evaluation skills, yet is not the greatest speaking in front of a crowd. Truly silent but deadly
When your team has been terrible with no improvement for so long you can’t throw that type of praise on an nba executive I’m sorry. You are cap! Troy hasn’t proved anything yet. We’ll see how this season goes…
Idk. We'll see. The way the relationship soured with Ayton and Jae Crowder, then seeing how Mikal Bridges game exploded in Brooklyn, I'm concerned we could see some similar issues with underutilized talent in Detroit.
Shout out to the Pistons for actually getting microphones to the reporters. So tired of some of the other team pressers where you can never hear the questions.
@@ltellis036 It seems that way, but it doesn't add up. Monty said the that Troy contacted him when Phoenix fired him. There's another video from this presser where Monty mentions that a few days before he took the job, that Troy was sending him photos of the whole team working out and practicing here in early June. That enticed Monty even more to take the job. Obviously for the money, but to see the hunger in this group. I mean if Troy wasn't in on Monty like Gores was, why would Troy be doing these little things to entice him? I think people are making something out of nothing, tbh.
@@ltellis036 WTF, did you even watch the whole presser? Troy's hesitation to continue pursuing Monty was not because he did not like him (he was the first to contact Monty when he got fired!) but because he learned about Monty's wife being sick with cancer. That was the conflict between him and Gores.
@@paulwarren6062 Maybe…. We’ll see. I think Troy didn’t want to move past Casey…. That was the owners call. I think Troy is just being a good soldier and serving at the pleasure of the owner. Anyone who’s been in corporate for any amount of time knows about this dance.
"That was not Pistons basketball. We did not compete." Alvin Gentry, The Pistons 25th Head Coach, after falling into a 2-0 series hole to Atlanta in 1999. "In 1980, this team won 16 ballgames. Bill (Davidson) was called a loser, the General Manager was a loser, the players were losers...and I say this to you: Champions are sometimes losers that just will not quit!" Jack McCloskey. Did the Pistons just win a title or did the Denver Nuggets? What is Gores doing on that stage? You let basketball people make basketball decisions. Your role is to tell us the business, the process, of the business. What the hell? We are building a quality organization, a billion dollar enterprise with a record that might make the Lions jealous, but not other NBA teams. It's a coach!
My best analogy of what happened to the Pistons is Gores let Weaver select the ingredients, but not the recipe, and we’re left with a repulsive dish and everyone is pointing fingers about who to blame.
@@Illhumbleyou They meant in a few years, stupid. It’s a rebuilding team, did you expect them to win with their two best players being a rookie and a sophomore?
We'll see. I actually wish Casey would've kept coaching. I'm not as sold on Williams and his ability to fully utilize the talent around him. Not to mention having multiple players visiby/vocally feeling underutilized in his system.
I sense a lot of determination and anger in this presser; but anger channeled in a righteous way. We know what the League did to us at the very last moment in this recent draft. Troy is angry, and the entire Management are angry. Last 3 seasons felt like 6. Coach Monty and Stephen got thrown off the boat by their previous Organisations; they're angry too. Believe me, an angry Detroit Pistons is bad news for the league but good for all for us. We Mean Business!!
So it might be me and I would like a guess there was good reason, but man when Monty talked about the team being there except Bojan it kinda focused on. "why isn't he here"
@Charles Howitt i honestly expected the same, and I am sure that is the reason, but others will take it in a bad view to a point they assume he just didn't want to be there
Really starting to not like Troy. Stevie and Brad certainly have him beat imo. Scott Harris hasn't had enough time. Monty seems legit though, I'm glad he wasn't afraid to mention the $$$$ as a part of his coming to Detroit. That's some real shit. Hopefully he can get the boys to their top tire and 'Ummm Weaver' helps him the best he can. Getting some vibes though that maybe Tom doesn't let Weaver make moves on his own and unless the owner is a true sports head doesn't always work well.
I thought for sure that they were going to hire Mark Jackson or at least Frank Vogel. Monty got the W’s but no rings to show for it. His Sun’s choked when it counted every time. He led them to the finals one time with a injured beat up league and lost. And he didn’t show me that he knows how to use his bigs looking at his relationship with Ayton and Pistons having such a big team that would’ve scared me in another direction on its own fr But I hope I’m wrong and it works🤷♂️
But Monty generosity from Gore, the multi million deal ?😁, more then 98% of everyone and way above what is needed, money does not bring true happiness but can very potentially bring misery. But I do give you credit to say the truth in a sincere way! Sorry about your wife but good you got it early.
I felt great about this hire. But after the press conference I think we are screwed. Maybe I been listening to Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell too much but these guys have 0 passion. The whole thing was super awkward. And to say you came here for the money is actually wild lol 💀💀💀
Umm Dan Campbell had a 5-14 record as a Lions player and currently has a coaching record of 17-28-1! 😳😳 Being a loud moth / rah rah guy doesn't mean you are a winner! Monty Williams on the other hand has a history of turning teams around. Give him a chance, you might be surprised what a smart / cerebral coach can do.
Holmes and Campbell are always hyped up, that's just their nature. They're football guys, lots of adrenaline. But to be down on Weaver and Monty just because they're more lowkey and mellow is silly. A lot went on to make this hire, a lot of emotions, Monty with his family, ect. Can't always expect people to be bouncing off walls with excitement.
shoutout casey for heading some of the most talent starved rosters i've ever seen. class act man.
Casey is maybe the worst coach in the league
@@Warden033 his history says otherwise.. plus the talent(Raptors) he developed is highly coveted by the league
He was awful and heavily compensated - wtf are you talking about.

@@wills.9422 Cool. What did he do in Detroit? How many struggling players did he help get better? 😂

It shows he likely isn't going to be blowing smoke up players asses and is going to tell it like it is which is good.
Here we are 8 month later, it really was all about the money. I say this with peace and love but please fire this man
They listened
We here DETROIT Vs Everybody 🙏🏽
Not quite there yet bro...You need better players bro a coach is only as good as his players

I couldn’t agree more. Monty is a class act. I hope Vogel has even half of what Monty has.
Amen. The Lord will surely bless him and this team with good success in the name of Jesus
We'll see. He led Phoenix back to relevance. But I have concerns about how he's developed and run his team's.

He may be apart of a trade but I’m sure the main reason is he’s not in the states

Super awkward!
not really. troy is just awkward like dat in front of the press and so is gores. behind closed doors i’m sure they’re cool
@kennethgray2510 you right I believe Tom wanted Monty and Troy wanted probably Kevin Ollie. I can definitely tell they had different guys in mind. Remember reports came out Tom didn't like any of the finalist Troy had between Kevin, Jarred Collins or Charles Lee.
Troy and Tom don't talk to the press much and I think that's by design.
Richard Greico looks like he snorted 6 lines before he got on stage
Troy is so interesting. Dude seems to basically thug other teams in trades and pretty clearly has solid evaluation skills, yet is not the greatest speaking in front of a crowd. Truly silent but deadly
Tbh I think he’s overrated compared to the lions gm brad Holmes
When your team has been terrible with no improvement for so long you can’t throw that type of praise on an nba executive I’m sorry. You are cap! Troy hasn’t proved anything yet. We’ll see how this season goes…
Pistons got a good one. Monty is a great coach for a young team that needs direction.
Idk. We'll see. The way the relationship soured with Ayton and Jae Crowder, then seeing how Mikal Bridges game exploded in Brooklyn, I'm concerned we could see some similar issues with underutilized talent in Detroit.
We welcome you Monty! Inspiring story man. Glad you are here
What is the deal with the General Manager?
Hearing him speak is excruciating!
I’m not sure if it will get better, but it can’t get much worse than 17 freaking wins smh
early andy problem.
they chopped the stream up now.
Welcome coach......thrilled to have you in Detroit......
I like Monty already for being truthful by saying one of the reasons was the Money.
I'd rather a coach sign primarily because he believes in the culture and players. Showing up for a check ain't a glowing statement.
deeeeeetroit basketballllll
I love this awkwardly talking organization... We just keep it real and keep it moving. #DetroitBasketball
Conference starts at 33:42
Shout out to the Pistons for actually getting microphones to the reporters. So tired of some of the other team pressers where you can never hear the questions.
No
This gives me confidence
12 months later...
Man ..Was Troy Weaver ever a boxer? Dude sounds punch drunk.
Troy "ummm" Weaver 😅
The whole panel was saying ummmm…..
lol 😂
reminds me of bob “ummm” quinn
Ummmmmmm
He need some rest 😅
Welcome to Detroit Coach Monty Williams!!!!
Monty I pray for ur wife and family. Let's goo pistons I'm soo excited for this.
Um
I feel like The Pistons win the deal Dr.. give them 2 years
THANK YEW TOM FOR DROPPING THE BAG FOR MONTY! He is going to be paramount in turning around this franchise.
turning them to china lol
You heard him “the money” atleast he didn’t lie like the other coaches would…
Uuumm I'm thinking of what lie to say ummm while I ummm talk ummm
Thought the one in the middle was spoelstra for a sec😂
Monty is going to lead this team to much success!!!! Playoffs for sure this upcoming season
Weird vibe for an intro presser. Gores definitely got HIS guy, but there's a behind the scenes story not being told yet.
I got that feeling too… I get the feeling Troy didn’t want Monty..
Totally agree! Something odd can be felt and it’s likely due to the coaching selection.

I began watching the Pistons years before Zeke was drafted. Came back when Tom bought the team. Damn time for Detroit to play some good ball.
Troy Seems a lil drunk or high or something.
Um um um ummmmm who am i ummm
Troy is so awkward during these press conference 😂
great coach! great basketball mind! we headed in the right direction
Coach keep it real. "The money." The money is really good!! Really..really good!!
i would have liked for someone to ask coach williams about his coaching style i understand he teaches a lot of ball movement
Cant help but notice how many times Troy says UM after having a public speaking class. 😅
If he did, he should get his money back.
It’s criminal that y’all posted a videos that don’t start till 30 mins deep
God hold favor to Monty's wife and good luck going forward Coach!
Won't make a difference the team will still suck.
As a Suns fan monty sucks
Take a shot every time weaver says um
as an alcholic id prob be dead

It's a coach!
Gores is a clown
FIRE THIS GUY NOW! Pistons play no defense and there is no discipline on this team
Why post the whole video when the first 30 minutes is dead air? Is there no way to trim a streamed video?
This was live so after the stream finishes the entire live automatically gets posted
The 4 sentences in 6 minutes at the end show how well thoughtout everything he says is. Lol he goes all out on thinking his decisions through
My best analogy of what happened to the Pistons is Gores let Weaver select the ingredients, but not the recipe, and we’re left with a repulsive dish and everyone is pointing fingers about who to blame.
In TROY AND GORES WE TRUST!!!🙌🙌🙌🔥. THEY BOTH MADE THIS HAPPEN. YALL KNOW HIW MANY TEAMS WANTED MONTY
