Wow. Wiseman was too big of a project for the Warriors I guess.

I don't really get this for the Warriors, I get moving Wiseman, but I thought it would be in a package for a player they could use now.

It creates a decent 9-10 M trade exemption, I believe?

didn't think GSW would give up on wiseman so quickly

They are in a weird position where they are trying to compete and don't have a lot of time to develop players. They probably should have moved him earlier for someone that could help in the now, especially based off their usage of him (and many of the younger guys).

Yea, that makes more sense. They've been paying a ridiculous amount for being over.

Wasn't Wiseman hyped as a can't miss prospect once upon a time? Just not as good as advertised?

 

[GKJ]

That’s a lot of second round picks unnecessarily moving around

Obvious bias, but this looks awesome for the Hawks. Almost last in the league in 3's and picked up a 23-year-old Bey? Not bad.

Well there goes any cap savings created by trading Wiseman lol

Looks like the deal is now official.

from espn.com:

The Golden State Warriors completed a four-team trade that allows guard Gary Payton II to pass his physical and three more players --- James Wiseman (Detroit), Saddiq Bey (Atlanta) and Kevin Knox (Portland) -- cleared beginning Monday, sources told ESPN on Sunday night.

The Warriors -- who held up the trade after team doctors raised concerns about Payton's injured abdomen -- will await an NBA inquiry into the Portland Trail Blazers' alleged failure to provide relevant pre-agreement medical information, sources said.

Findings of wrongdoing could cost the Blazers draft picks and fines and could result in re-examining the package of five second-round picks that the Warriors traded the Blazers to acquire Payton, sources said.

The Warriors had been discussing the issue with the league office throughout the weekend, and with a 9:30 p.m. ET deadline looming Sunday night, the trade sending Wiseman to Detroit, Bey to Atlanta and Knox to Portland was completed, sources said.

I hope the Warriors can retool and and make at least one final run with Steph, this trade probably helps them do that can make a run at a big player
