Detroit Pistons sign Joe Johnson, release Michael Beasley

After much speculation, the Pistons have now officially signed Joe Johnson, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo. They are reportedly waiving Michael Beasley to create a roster spot for Joe Johnson.

This signing has been rumored due to the connection of Johnson and former agent and current Pistons executive Arn Tellem. It also doesn’t hurt that the Pistons seemingly have a path to playing time for Iso Joe as well as a little guaranteed money on the table.

The fact that the Pistons are waiving Micheal Beasley makes that signing a confusing one.
