Gary Payton II Trade to the Warriors

I'll be waiting on Twitter for Shams and Woj and all these Blazers haters retracting ... got to be coming any second now ... aaaanyyy second ....

 

If true then Shams/Woj need to out their "sources" otherwise their creditability will take a hit.

 

There is an official NBA clearing house that is supposed to contain all the updated and pertinent medical information for every NBA player. Illimatic posted the link earlier. The Warriors would need permission from Portland and Payton to access that information. The crux of this might be if the Blazers posted the information about the injections there, or concealed that information

If the Blazers concealed that information, not only is it underhanded and fraudulent, it's just plain stupid because it's absolutely certain that inormation would come out one Payton talked to the Warriors
**********************************

something else: I keep seeing that Payton failed the physical. My question is what is involved in the physical? Do the Warriors just review the medical information provided and have the team physician examine Payton? Or do they perform an MRI?

 

It is a big deal. It's really like tampering. They're polluting the player pool with lies. If it's found that this is untrue and someone on the Warriors put this out there, it's certainly grounds for forfeiture of a draft pick, a fine, and a suspension for whoever made this allegation.

 

Yep, didn't think his agent was in on this. Explains why Dame seems to be giving the cold shoulder to GP.

 

Forget forfeiture. This is compensation. To us.

 

This was Dame ending this nonsense. Using his agent and Chris Haynes.

 

You're absolutely right

 

I'd wish that but major sports organizations don't usually do it that way. Usually they just dock the transgressor. They don't compensate the aggrieved party.

 

Per Adrian Wojnarowski:

"The NBA could punish Portland with a fine and loss of draft picks if an investigation were to discover "a failure to disclose relevant information" on Payton's abdominal injury that required offseason surgery and had him miss the first 35 games of the season."

 

That is annoying asf.

 

Thug it out!

Yeah nobody knew nuthin!

 

That's strange. Disclose to whom?

 

I thought that was what a physical was for?
Seems like a click bait statement?

 

so, I guess we'll have two threads on this maybe more. So this goes here:

 

All of this is just bullshit until we actually hear something from the Warriors or the league. Right now it's rumors and conjecture from the media. There would be no reason for this sort of thing not to have a named source attached to it if it were sourced.

 

Wasn’t Woj a big Neil guy? Is he trying to hammer us for revenge? Or am I reaching lol.

 

According to Woj the Warriors informed the league, they think we withheld info. Thats throwing us under the bus true or not.
