After a decade of misery, it’s nice to see the Detroit Pistons front office rewarding its fans with a championship-caliber roster, if it were the 2010-11 season.
In reality, the signing of Joe Johnson brings a quality locker room presence and a curiosity of what’s left in the basketball tank in the seven-time All-Stars body.
Johnson, 38, was previously represented by Pistons Vice President Arn Tellem and was lured to Detroit by head coach Dwane Casey, according to the Detroit Free Press Vince Ellis’.
Pistons star Blake Griffin won the 2011 Rookie of the Year Award and NBA slam dunk contest and was regarded as one of the league’s best athletes.
