Warriors No Longer Pursuing Compensation for Gary Payton II Trade

The Golden State Warriors will not be pursuing further compensation from the Portland Trail Blazers for the trade involving Gary Payton II consummated at the 2023 NBA Trade Deadline. Though the deal went through, Payton failed a physical prior to its acceptance. The Warriors objected that the Blazers had not fully disclosed Payton’s medical condition and were reserving the right to ask for penalties against Portland.

Chris Haynes tweeted the news this afternoon.

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.
