Gary Payton II Trade to the Warriors (1 Viewer)

[MickZagger]

So in my mind the puzzle pieces are starting to come together. Teammates were critical of him not wanting to play. He got bugged by it, wanted out.

He complained to GS medical staff that his injury hasn’t healed. There’s no way if they had the physical yesterday that they could’ve got imaging and testing done. So they were going off his word. I think Payton is a fraud and so is GS medical staff

 

[Tince]

Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the Warriors will waive the physical tomorrow.

Agreed. We're nearing 0% probability this trade is voided. The GSW aren't going to want to bring any more attention to this. The less light on it, the better.

It would cost the Warriors millions in luxury tax to rescind the trade at this point, they'd have to take back the players and salary that went out in the deal. Not a good move by GS to play dirty pool for this guy.

Kind of was expecting him to spontaneously double over in pain ... maybe fall onto the court in the middle of the action ....

I thought I saw a tweet from the Warriors or Payton today that the trade now was official. That was hours ago. Maybe someone jumped the gun. Or they were hopped up on Toradol.

Still feeling the Toradol shots from when he was still a Blazer a few days ago.

I hadn't seen anything that it was official, but maybe.

Josh Hart Is a class act. I wish him the best. Definitely a good honorable guy.

Warriors fans down in the comments hoping they get a Portland first round pick for their trouble lmao

the Josh stuff confirmed my suspicions from the beginning. Players are notoriously pro-player in almost every situation so the fact that none of GPs teammates came to his defense spoke volumes.

The way this is playing out, they're going to be lucky if Payton doesn't get a 30-game suspension and the Warriors a hefty fine and loss of a draft pick.

Fuck Gary Payton II and the Warriors as well as their fans. They’re actually making me defend this Mickey Mouse organization.

I was watching the Lakers/Warriors game and losing my mind trying to figure out which team to root against more. I hoped the earth would swallow them both up, but I rooted for the Warriors to lose second most.

Warrior fans are now back to my most hated. Their reddit was saying we should be forced to give them a first for this. They are out of their minds. First they say we are their g league team for rehabbing Garey now this garbage.

 

[Cugel]

give them a first?? smh. what a bunch of dumbshits.

 

[MickZagger]

I’m betting in the back of his antagonistic mind he’s thinking shit, what did I start here

 

[illmatic99]

i can trash my team however much i want, but if anyone from the outside speaks bad on us, i get super defensive.

 

[illmatic99]

8:44 mark.



Josh did not need to do this. Love this guy. Hate that he had to go.

 

[Cugel]

All the best to Josh. He had a great debut tonight. On the Knicks forum, they are quite happy. He gave them 11-7-4-4 and 1 turnover.

 

[julius]

I highly doubt Portland would not have a latest scan.

That's kind of my point.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Fuckin A Josh Hart!

Gives the thinly veiled middle finger to GP2.

Okay, Josh Hart is now one of my favorite NBA players.

Josh outs Gary and the Warriors as doing nothing but dragging us for a made up reason. When they complete the trade tomorrow it will be clear. Unfortunately when they accept the trade national media will make it a non-story and leave it behind but they should cast the Warriors in a negative light for doing nothing but trying to hurt another franchise in ways that have nothing to do with competing.

It'll come back over the summer when Portland loses picks for "reasons".

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Thank you Josh Hart!

I guess we'll see but if we lose picks they'll have to say and show why.

Uniting against a common enemy!

As DJ Khalid would say, "Anotha one."

I'd of gone with, "you played yourself."
