    Holy shit! This is crazy. So it seems there is a communication breakdown somewhere. What I want is when the Warriors just go through with the trade tomorrow, that there is an investigation into them on how any misinformation about our franchise got out. If it was due to the Warriors either acting maliciously or with neglect, they are the ones who should have to give up a draft pick for hurting our reputation.

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

    I would think probably reaching. I think with Woj, you're his guy as long as you provide him with value. Neil is no longer a GM, so can no longer provide any benefit in a relationship to Woj, so Woj has no real reason to go to bat for him any longer, IMO.

    Like I posted below, if the Warriors can't prove that we did withhold info then they should be the one losing a pick.

    The NBA and Teams are not exempt from bs mis info by social media like any other org or individual. I love seeing slander law suits against those trying to profit from it.

    I agree. The vendetta stuff is something Jaynes or Canzano might do. Probably not Woj...he has no axe to grind. However, Woj can certainly put out only one side of a story

    earlier in the day it seemed like most of this was pivoting on the Toradol shots and their disclosure. If Payton's agent is correct, those shot didn't happen

    so that would leave other medical information

    I truly don't understand how this could possibly hold any water. It wasn't a secret he had abdominal surgery. It wasn't a mystery why he missed so many games. When he finally came back, every time he played it looked like he was having issues. He spoke about it continuing to trouble him & playing through the pain in the press. Last season he was a dunking machine, this year he's got 3 in 15 games... his PER was 17.8 last year & this year 11.5.

    How in the world could the Warriors claim to not know he wasn't right?

    Wish Woj would present in his reporting that if GS cannot prove they can be penalized. Seems like he just reporting what he's been told but I would think he wold know, like you do, that if they a wrong they pay up.

    What bothers me mostly is if they call off the deal because he didn't pass physical it makes us look real bad since all the reporting on it.

    Imagine getting a contract worth tens of millions, sitting out longer than the staff thought you needed to, then get traded to the team you wanted and drag the team WHO GAVE YOU THE CONTRACT GSW WOULDNT through the mud..

    Honestly if he looked like a donut I'd hate him more than Felton.

    Fuck him.

    Your team didn't want to pay him so you set up a team to be the "fall team"

    So yeah, fuck that organization too. And I realize my tin foil hat is on.

    At least we are getting a new hated former Blazer. We haven't created a new one in years. Also, fuck Golden State, and fuck Mittens.

    good grief dude, it's not GP2 who is holding up the trade & creating the drama, it's the Warrior Docs.

    I don’t get why GP is going out of his way to smear Portland.

    Cronin gave him a contract no other team was willing to offer him.

    Cronin sent him to his preferred destination
