Under pressure following the new disappointment of the Suns in the Playoffs, Monty Williams will not have a new chance in Arizona. ESPN indeed announces that the Cactus coach has just been sacked!
Breaking News! Barely two days after the elimination of Phoenix, a first header has just fallen from the Suns and it is Monty Williams. In post at the Footprint Center since 2019 and a great craftsman of the Cactus’ return to the fore, the tactician will not have survived the new bitter failure of the desert franchise in the Playoffs, the second in two years. ESPN and Adrian Wojnarowski announced last night that the manager had been removed from his post.
BREAKING: The Phoenix Suns dismissed coach Monty Williams, sources tell ESPN. Williams was a two-time NBA Coach of the Year in four seasons with Suns — including a trip to 2021 NBA Finals. Suns lost 6-game series to Nuggets in Western Semifinals. pic.twitter.com/bfMd6F1RJc

It’s quite an earthquake on the Arizona side because Williams has done a lot to help the Suns get back to the top. Elected Twice Coach of the Year (by his peers), including Phoenix’s single-season winning record, he also led the franchise to its first NBA Finals since 1993.
Unfortunately for him, the two successive eliminations in the second round of the Playoffs, with in particular beatings when going on vacation, will have been the straw that will have broken the vase of Mat Ishbia. According ESPN, it is the new owner of the franchise who has chosen to terminate the contract of Monty Williams, yet extended last summer by the franchise. Like a symbol, he finds himself on the coaching market at the same time as Mike Budenholzer, his opponent in the 2021 NBA Finals. According Bleacher ReportWilliams could even succeed Bud in Wisconsin because the Bucks would like his profile.
For the Suns, it is therefore time to find a new guru for driver Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and company. Once a new coach has been appointed, management should take care of modifying the roster and we are thinking in particular of Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, two locker room executives who seem to be at the end of their course in Arizona. The 2021 NBA finalist has launched his revolution and it’s far from over.
