Kurtenbach: Why the Warriors approved the Gary Payton II – James Wiseman trade
That said, the Warriors were still choosing someone else over him. That can’t feel good.
Nothing would have changed with Wiseman — he would have still been a raw, inexperienced player on the wrong team, sitting at the end of the bench, grabbing only garbage-time minutes — save for the fact that the situation would have become even more gauche than the big man in the Dubs’ offense. Payton makes slightly less than Wiseman for this season, but his contract is a nearly $3.5 million reduction in salary for the Warriors next season.If Payton can’t play this season, he’ll still be on the court as much as the Warriors wanted Wiseman on the court.And that potential was wildly overrated.Payton is under contract for two more seasons.
