Report: Joe Johnson released by Detroit Pistons

The Woj... sparkler? This is not a Woj bomb. The Woj sparkler hit today:

Johnson had come to Pistons camp with a non-guaranteed contract. Pistons deciding to use roster spots for Christian Wood and continued development of young guard Khryi Thomas. https://t.co/xeHcJvD0QA

It was previously reported by Chris Haynes of Yahoo that Christian Wood was going to make the regular-season roster. The Detroit Pistons front office, unable to find a taker for either Langston Galloway or Khyri Thomas, did the easier, smarter thing, and just cut the player with the least amount of guaranteed money left on the roster to get to 15 players.
