Kurtenbach: Gary Payton II was the one who got away. Thank goodness the Warriors brought him back

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:50 GMT

The Warriors were wrong this past summer.They knew how they could keep Gary Payton II on the team’s roster. They decided not to do it.Had the Warriors traded center James Wiseman after the team’s title parade, Golden State would have freed enough money to reasonably re-sign Payton to a market-level deal, despite the team’s luxury-tax issues.Important members of the Dubs’ brass were desperate to make the move. It didn’t happen.Pride stood in the way. Enough important people with the Warriors did not want to concede defeat on the failing Wiseman experiment. They fell prey to the sunk-cost fallacy.So instead of keeping the 30-year-old Payton, an undrafted journeyman who became a critical member of the team’s title rotation last season, the Warriors stuck with the former No. 2 overall pick. Payton, in turn, signed his first big NBA deal, a three-year, $26.1 million contract with the Blazers.Thank goodness the Warriors admitted their mistake in Februar...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:10:50 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Gabriel Jesus ended a six-month scoring drought by netting twice as Premier League leader Arsenal beat Leeds 4-1 on Saturday to maintain some breathing space atop the standings. Jesus converted a first-half penalty for his first goal since Oct. 1 to give Arsenal the lead, and then made it 3-0 with a simple finish from close range in the 55th. The Brazilian striker had played 17 games for club and country without a goal, a stretch that was also interrupted by a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being injured at the World Cup. “I want to score every game,” Jesus said. “But sometimes it can’t happen. I am more happy with the three points than the goals.”Ben White added the second goal shortly after the halftime break and Granit Xhaka headed in a late fourth as Arsenal maintained an eight-point gap over defending champion Manchester City, which has a game in hand. Leeds pulled a goal back with a deflected shot by Rasmus Kristensen to make it 3-1 in the 76th, but the los...
