Howard Beck: Gary Payton didn’t want to play in the Triangle. He hated the Triangle, but he signed there to play for Phil Jackson and he should’ve known. If there was one player who didn’t fit, it was Payton. He didn’t fit the Triangle and rebelled against it in a way.

Jamie Hudson: Blazers Injury Report: Damian Lillard (rest), Anfernee Simons (rest), Jerami Grant (rest), Jusuf Nurkic (rest), Josh Hart (rest), Justise Winslow (rest) and Gary Payton II (core muscle recovery) are OUT. Trendon Watford (right hip flexor) is AVAILABLE.
Gary Payton, whose own Hall of Fame career got going in earnest in Seattle under Karl’s tutelage, said on Martin’s podcast that he loved Karl — and that he also “used to want to kill George’s ass every other (bleeping) day.” “Early in his career, and honestly, it’s one of the things that made him a great coach, is that he wasn’t afraid of confrontation,” said Terry Stotts, the former Blazers, Hawks and Bucks head coach who was an assistant coach for Karl in Seattle and Milwaukee. “I think his style of confrontation changed over the years. Early on, it was more face to face. I don’t think he ever changed. He wasn’t afraid to rub people the wrong way, and not just players, because he had opinions on how the game should be played, and what he wanted, and how he viewed the game. For good or for bad, that was part of his coaching style.”
