Let's go to Rick in Knoxville.
Rick, you're on Rahimi Harrison-Grody.
Well, Rick, thank you for your call, and thanks for the kind words.
We appreciate it.
What is your—and Rick just dropped off, but I was going to ask.
I don't have the same passionate vitriol about Monte Williams necessarily, and I think there were a couple of people after that press conference when we heard Bryson Graham speak so highly of him.
I wonder if possibly he's part of this picture.
Well, and I think that's why it was asked, and I forget which reporter posed the question.
It might have been Jamal Collier talking about head coaching candidates and whether or not those candidates would grow with the team like we had seen in San Antonio and in Oklahoma City.
But coaches who are willing to be part of that.
And you know, Monty Williams, I remember thinking to myself, when that losing streak was going on, didn't you think also that Detroit had too much talent to make sense of why that was happening?
The year that Cade Cunningham got drafted, the Pistons made a ton of very savvy moves, both in trades and free agency.
And I remember having that impression and trying to figure out what had gone wrong.
But, you know, similarly, J.B.
Biggerstaff was really, really highly touted as an assistant coach, ends up getting a head coaching job, then ends up getting another one now, as we've seen, and then gets an extension.
Sometimes it's a fit issue.
Sometimes it's a fit with your players.
Sometimes it's a fit with your ownership.
I'm not trying to say this is me caping for Monte Williams necessarily.
