The Warriors have acquired Gary Payton II from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for five second-round picks, ESPN reported. Payton II, a Dub Nation favorite known as “GP2,” returns to the Warriors after helping them in last season’s title run.
Third-year center James Wiseman has been traded to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Warriors traded away the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft for forward Saddiq Bey, Wojnarowski tweeted.
Essentially, Golden State traded away Wiseman, 21, for the 30-year-old guard Payton II.
In his third season with the Warriors, Wiseman was averaging 12.5 minutes, 6.9 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21 games (0 starts) played. Payton II played in 15 games for Portland this season, averaging 4.1 points and 17 minutes per game.
