The Warriors are going through with a trade to acquire Gary Payton II from Portland despite a failed physical.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are going through with a trade to acquire Gary Payton II from Portland despite a failed physical, sources confirmed Sunday afternoon.
But after using most of their 72-hour window to decide how to proceed, the Warriors eventually concluded Sunday it was best to keep the trade intact. Once completed, the move will effectively bring Payton in while sending James Wiseman away. The Warriors, according to The Athletics, were upset that Portland didn’t divulge Payton had been prescribed Toradel tablets, an extra strength anti-inflammatory drug that is common for people after surgery. Sources said Sunday morning the NBA had opened a review into the matter.
The Warriors sent three second-round picks as well as former Piston Kevin Knox to Portland for Payton as part of a four-team trade that included the Trail Blazers, Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks.
