Sources: Warriors to go through with 4-team Gary Payton trade
The Golden State Warriors are clearing the way for the completion of a four-team trade that'll allow guard Gary Payton II to join the team and still provide for the possibility that a formal inquiry into the Portland Trail Blazers ' alleged failure to provide pre-deal medical information could result in the Warriors receiving further compensation, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
The Warriors had been discussing the issue with the league office throughout the weekend and with a 9:30 p.m. ET deadline looming on Sunday night, the trade sending James Wiseman to Detroit, Saddiq Bey to Atlanta and Kevin Knox to Portland will be completed, sources said.
