Gary Payton II Trade to the Warriors

Awww, piss on em. They are now officially the Golden Shower Warriors.

 

The Toradol Karens.

 

Of course there is the famous James Stephen Hogg who named his daughter Ima.

 

That made me think of something. What if Gary did re-injure himself and didn't let anyone know because he was pretty sure by then he was going to the Warriors and he didn't want to stop that?

 

so, if Payton re-injured himself and didn't tell the Blazers it would be impossible for the Blazers to divulge what they didn't know

 

Elvis the Pelvis had a brother named Enis.

 

But if he did so that, he would probably not want to own up to it to GS, so maybe he would lie and say he told Portland? All complete speculation of course.

 

so whats the TL;DR on this, did this go through? is there an actual investigation?

 

Just saw on the espn bottom line that the warriors hope he will be ready for the playoffs and will be re-evaluated in one month.


Lol

 

Share what you know then. Until you do so, it looks like you cornered yourself by defending a source within the GSW organization, and are doubling down with no recourse. Right now, you're the only one in this thread who believes whatever that source is feeding you.

 

Eeeeeeesh

 

I think its very possible that's what he decided to do.

 

I always though this was the most probable thing.
He re-injured himself and either he and/or the training staff dismissed it as 'normal' soreness.

 

I'd pay for that vid.

 

Do you have a source in the bay. Or nay?

 

I’ll ask you again because this is very unusual?
I’m just not certain what your point is at stage of the game?
You are no longer unaware of the facts and timeline. This entire situation is a terrible look for the Warriors and their front office.
The Blazers have done nothing wrong here and it’s getting more and more obvious all the time.

 

gary who?

 

I'm a Blazer fan living by the Bay. I leave local sports talk on in the background for much of my working day and can confirm whats highlighted. Today multiple shows used the Toradol injections stuff as truth as the basis for hosts stating that Portland will be giving up picks and fined massively. Among those hosts making those claims was former Portland sports talker John Lund on his 10-2 slot. Local media fanning debunked nonsense is at least partially responsible for why fans get so incensed/engaged... hard to think that blind eye wasn't turned on purpose to incense/engage fans right? Is that funny too?

From my biased perspective, having watched plenty of Payton the last few years it was obvious he was dealing with injury this year. The surgery he underwent wasn't a secret nor was the fact that his recovery did not go well as he missed many months past the initial projections. When he finally debuted, not only were his stats way down but he grimaced and clutched his abdomen every game and openly spoke about playing through the pain in the press. I recall he also said that Doctors had assured him playing wouldn't make it worse.

If the Blazers weren't secretly injecting him with painkillers to ready him to play in this all important sub 500 season, what exactly might they have been hiding? His injury was out in the open... is he now not projected to ever heal or is he just limited this year like he spoke in the press?
