Phoenix Suns head coach Monty Williams has broken his silence about the controversial allegations that have been thrown at team owner Robert Sarver. ESPN recently dropped a bombshell report exposing Sarver's alleged racist and misogynistic nature. The accusations have blown up and it has even prompted the NBA to issue their own statement about the pressing matter.

The big question now is how the Suns players feel about all this. Chris Paul, who currently serves as the leader of the locker room, and his opinion about this issue will certainly matter a lot. Williams said that he's already spoken to Paul, and the Phoenix coach revealed CP3's initial reaction to these developments.

The pitchforks have already been taken out and Sarver has pretty much been crucified on social media. For his part, however, Williams admitted that he doesn't want to make any judgments just yet:

“As someone who is the caretaker of a program, I find all these things that are being said serious in nature,” Williams said, via Brian Windhorst of ESPN. “It takes courage to come out and express yourself. But at the same time, I'm aware there are two sides to this equation. … We still have to wait to see how clear the facts can appear.”

Williams then went on to say that based on his conversation with Chris Paul, he believes that the Suns point guard is on the same boat:

“As far as Chris is concerned, I think he probably feels the same way. I can't speak for him,” Williams said.

To be clear, neither Williams nor Paul is defending Robert Sarver here. All they seem to be saying is that they are reserving their judgment until they hear Sarver's side of the story.

Be that as it may, Williams also made it abundantly clear that he has not personally experienced what has been described as a toxic environment within the organization:

“If any of that stuff happened while I was here, I wouldn't be in this seat,” Williams said. “The league is doing an investigation, and we'll know more obviously once that is settled.

“Ownership was a big deal for me because of the conversations I had with Robert. We were pretty candid about things we needed to say. To say that ownership didn't play a big deal in my decision to come here would be false. I couldn't do what I do if I didn't have a partnership and relationship that I have with Robert the last two years.”

It is worth noting that the man Williams succeeded as the Suns head coach, Earl Watson, himself came out with a pretty damning statement. Watson revealed that his experience in Phoenix was “traumatic.” The ex-Suns coach did not name any names nor did he provide too many details, but his message coincides with ESPN's report.

Williams also opened up about Watson's claims. According to Williams, he does not intend to speak to Watson about this:

“I'm not going to talk to Earl,” Williams said. “That stuff happened before I was here. That doesn't mean it's not serious but I'm going to wait until the investigation takes place.”

In truth, Monty Williams is stuck in a rough spot here. He's still an employee of the Suns organization and as he said, he has a personal relationship with Sarver as well. He's not exactly in an ideal position to lambast the Suns owner right now, especially since there is still an investigation underway. Nevertheless, knowing Williams (and Chris Paul as well), I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to drop the hammer if and when the allegations are proven true.
