Well, the script writers are at it again. Have we entered PLOT TWIST character? Monty Williams -- the same Monty Williams who was a prime choice for the Lakers a few years back and turned them down before they eventually landed on Frank Vogel -- was let go by Detroit with approximately 11 years and $9 billion left on his contract. So with the process seemingly stalled after what were described by some reports as very good conversations with JJ Redick last weekend, speculation is naturally swirling around Williams. Is he ready to coach again, after being coaxed back to the sidelines by Tom Gores last year? It obviously was an unmitigated disaster, so would bringing him here, in this situation, be even kind of wise? Are the Lakers even interested? Is Redick interested in the Pistons? Because his name, intentionally or not, is/will be linked there. James Borrego, to the extent the Lakers care, could be off the market quickly, and even if the Lakers don't want him, it means Borrego gets a crack at putting a staff together before the next Lakers coach does. That's important. Especially if that coach is Redick. And finally, if you are still clinging to the idea that Bronny James and LeBron James (potential free agent) are a package deal, stop. Rich Paul again made that clear on Wednesday. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Monty Williams fired in Detroit. SEGMENT 2: Would the Lakers entertain Williams as an option? What does all of this delay mean for Redick? SEGMENT 3: A Bron/Bronny update. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
