The Golden State Warriors started making trade moves a few hours before the deadline. The team aimed at improving the bench after trading most of them before the start of the season. One such recent addition to the Warriors team has found himself at the center of a controversy involving four different teams. The 6’2″ guard is still expected to reunite with Stephen Curry and the Warriors. 

In today’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, Gary Payton II was found sitting courtside along with Warriors GM Bob Myers and Vice President Mike Dunleavy Jr. A recent video of the incident has created a state of dilemma among fans online.

Son of the former NBA superstar, Gary Payton II is one of the Warriors’ recent addition. It was a four-team trade that involved the Warriors, the Detroit Pistons, the Portland Trail Blazers, and the Atlanta Hawks. The Warriors traded their big man James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons, while Saddiq Bey moved to the Atlanta Hawks. Meanwhile, Kevin Knox who was initially heading to the Warriors was traded to the Trail Blazers for Gary Payton II.

Analysts believe there are chances the trade might reverse. Furthermore, Payton could miss out on a significant amount of games this season.
