The Detroit Pistons have two MVP’s on their roster entering training camp but the signing of the Joe Johnson, the Big3 MVP, creates another issue with the roster.
Johnson, 38, will compete with 23-year-old forward Christian Wood for the 15th spot on the roster. Johnson is on a partially-guaranteed contract while Wood is non-guaranteed with a guarantee date of Oct. 23, the season opener.
But if the Pistons are striving for roster balance and to fill two needs – small forward depth and a backup center – then there is a prime opportunity to keep Johnson and Wood on the roster.
