A few days back, the Golden State Warriors reacquired Gary Payton II in a four-team trade involving the Portland Trail Blazers, Detroit Pistons, and Atlanta Hawks. Though initially, there were chances of the deal being nullified due to Payton II failing a physical exam, the deal did eventually go through. In light of this, Stephen Curry-led Warriors were apparently unhappy and took shots at Damian Lillard and co.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned actions of the Warriors were not appreciated by the fans. They took to social media to trash the Warriors.

ESPN’s, Adrian Wojnarowski reported, “The Warriors shared with the league what they believed to be evidence that Portland failed to provide relevant medical information on his condition prior to agreeing on the trade, sources said” Moreover, he added that the Trail Blazers didn’t even inform them that Young Glove was taking pain-killing medication, Toradol to continue playing after his abdomen surgery.

Apart from that, Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes also said shed some light on the aforementioned affair. In one of the recent episodes of ‘#thisleague UNCUT’ podcast, he said, “I was told that they?ve urged the league to look into Portland?s dealing with New Orleans last year when it was the C.J. McCollum-Larry Nance trade,? Chris Haynes said. ?They?ve urged the league to look into that, particularly Larry Nance Jr. because they believe that a similar incident happened in that deal, and they feel like the Blazers may have a pattern of doing something where they?re either withholding information or presenting misleading information.”

The Trail Blazers seemingly didn’t provide relevant medical information on the now 30-year-old guard’s condition. Therefore, the Warriors were clearly unhappy with them and believed they misled them.
