"You’ve been through a lot coach" - NBA fans applaud Pistons for including healthcare benefits for Monty Williams' wife as she fights breast cancer

Monty Williams recently signed a six-year deal worth $72 million with the Detroit Pistons to become their new head coach. Shams Charania reported the deal could reach eight years worth $100 million due to incentives and team options. While these all sound incredible, the most important part of Williams' deal is the health care benefits for his wife Lisa Keeth. Recently, it was revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer during the NBA playoffs. However, Williams and Keeth have refrained from providing specific details regarding the severity or stage of the disease. With that in mind, the Pistons have done a class act by including health care benefits in Williams' contract specifically for Keeth's breast cancer.

However, he later agreed to an extension that stretched for two-three years, resulting in an increased salary range of $8 to $10 million per season. As the Suns and Williams couldn't reach a buyout agreement, he will continue to receive payments from his former team. By securing a new contract with the Detroit Pistons, Williams became the highest-paid coach in the league. Prior to Monty Williams joining the Detroit Pistons, it was San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich who held the distinction of having the highest average annual salary among NBA coaches. Notably, Popovich's earnings amounted to $13 million per season.
