Pistons will ‘strongly consider’ James Borrego as Monty Williams replacement
NY Post
James Borrego has emerged as an early candidate for the Pistons’ head coach opening.
Detroit will “strongly consider” Borrego, according to Yahoo Sports, after shockingly firing Monty Williams with more than $65 million left on his record six-year, $78.5 million contract on Wednesday.
Borrego, who was the head coach of the Hornets for four seasons from 2018-22, served as an associate head coach for the Pelicans last season.
The Pistons aren’t the first team this offseason to target Borrego.
Earlier this month, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that Borrego was emerging as a favorite to replace J.B. Bickerstaff as the Cavaliers head coach.
“[James Borrego is] getting momentum in Cleveland,” Windhorst said on “Get Up” on June 10. “He’s expected to interview there early this week as a potential leading candidate developing with the Cavs.”
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
