Piston waive Joe Johnson, Golden State Warriors should have late-season interest

After being the Most Valuable Player in the Big 3, Joe Johnson opted to go for another run in the NBA. He originally signed with the Detroit Pistons but was waived prior to the start of the regular season. Now, the Golden State Warriors should be at least partially interested.

The Warriors would have nothing to lose. However, they can’t sign him immediately. The Dubs are extremely close to the NBA’s hard cap, entering the 2019-2020 season with three players on a max-value contract and Draymond Green set to make that much next year.

There are only 14 players on the Warriors’ opening day roster.
