Johnson appeared in 18 games last season with the Pacers and now will begin his 15th season in the NBA. He's a leader, a veteran presence and an enforcer.
It's been a while since we had a star that needed protection. Guys like Dale Davis and David West who's presents prevented some things from getting out of hand both ways. Even bench guys who were willing, and able, to just give teams pause by letting them know Reggie was their guy protected him from overly rough play. Tyrese needs that and we have a roster full of really upstanding nice guys. They need someone like JJ.
A great addition to the team. He doesn't need minutes to make his presence felt.

Good signing.
How does that affect the 2 way guys?
