The moves that took place before the trade deadline were riddled with many ups and downs. Many superstars in the league switched jerseys. While a few returned to the same team they were traded from, some felt reunited. No wonder Shaquille O’Neal’s daughter, Me’arah O’Neal, was also hyped at the trade that brought Gary Payton II back to the Golden State Warriors.

The Golden State Warriors were part of a four-team trade that involved the Atlanta Hawks, the Detroit Pistons, and the Portland Trail Blazers. The Warriors parted ways with the former number two overall pick, James Wiseman, but got one of their former players back.

Me’arah O’Neal seemed really hyped up

James Wiseman was traded to the Detroit Pistons, while the Golden State Warriors got Gary Payton II and two future second-round picks from Atlanta. The Atlanta Hawks received Saddiq Bey, the Portland Trail Blazers got Kevin Knox, and five future second-round picks in return.

Now, the trade that has people the most hyped is Gary Payton II rocking a Warriors jersey once again. Even Me’arah O’Neal could not hide her excitement as she uploaded a post from ‘House Of Highlights’ of Payton II with a caption that said, “YESSSSIRSKIIIIII.”

“Got Your Best Defender Back”: Ex-Warriors Star Reunites With Stephen Curry Energizing Dubnation Just Hours After Jersey Swap

Clearly, Me’arah and the Dub nation could not be more excited. Gary Payton II played for the Warriors for two seasons and was vital to the Warriors’ championship run in 2022. 

Seeing the 30-year-old star back with his former squad will be exciting.

Did Stephen Curry and the Warriors win the trade?

The four-team trade involving Gary Payton II and James Wiseman has its advantages and disadvantages. The Warriors had high hopes for Wiseman, but unfortunately, he could never deliver on the court.

A new destination and a different squad might bring out the best in him. While the Warriors received a proven player who works well in their system. As for the Portland Trail Blazers, Kevin Knox is a valuable role player. But the five draft picks they got seem more valuable in the future.
