AROUND the NBA: Pat Bev Suspended 4 Games Next Season| PHX Fires Vogel

Isn't there always some risk in a buy-low scenario.  Otherwise, the low part wouldn't exist.  That is the trick to these deals.  Almost no one here wanted Dinwiddie based on his recent past at the time of the trade.  But, if you went back further, you could find reason for hope.  

There isn't much point in going too far down this rabbit trail as the deal doesn't work.  But just yesterday you were making the "it wasn't that long ago" argument on behalf of Maxi.  I think the last 3 seasons on a good team probably holds more weight than 2019 and prior on a bad team, but I can see the concern.

Yes I was making that argument, and believe in it for Kleber. 

The "it wasn't that long ago" argument for Wiggins, in my view, is about how ridiculous he was BEFORE Golden State. I never once thought of him as a good player back then. I thought of him as a Christian Wood level disappointment who was finally forced to play winning basketball by Curry, Green, Thompson and Kerr. I might be wrong about that, but he's just another one I've never really liked from a far. So, again, it's not the CURRENT stretch of bad play that worries me, it's the entire body of work.
