The Pistons had three options with Williams, sources told Yahoo Sports, as Langdon and Williams met routinely since Langdon’s hiring.
One was going all in with the coach with the money remaining on his contract. Another was giving him a second year to see if he connected better and developed the young talent on the roster. The third was cutting him loose, as giving him another year seemed to only kick the can down the inevitable road, especially with 2021 No. 1 draft pick Cade Cunningham up for a rookie extension this summer and having a roster around him that doesn’t complement his skillset.
