Warriors won’t protest Payton trade after all

After filing a complaint with the league and forcing fans to learn about trade rules, physical exams, and the differences between oral Toradol and injectable Toradol, the Golden State Warriors have decided not to pursue their complaint against the Portland Trail Blazers.

After further review, Golden State won't be pursuing any action, grievance, or review by the NBA regarding Gary Payton II trade with Portland, sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.
