The NBA trade deadline brought about a flurry of activity—and a bevy of savings for the defending champs.
In a multi-team trade, the Warriors dealt former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman to the Pistons and received guard Gary Payton II in return from the Trail Blazers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
As part of the deal, the Pistons also reportedly sent forward Saddiq Bey to Atlanta and Kevin Knox to Golden State, with the Hawks sending five second-round picks to the Warriors. Golden State then reportedly sent Knox and the picks to Portland in exchange for Payton.
