The real question is if letting him go was the right choice, so far, doesn’t look like it, but maybe next season it will pay off.

I think it was definitely the right move, in a vacuum, to swap out Jrue for Dame.
However, everyone knew Portland would immediately flip Jrue. Boston’s need for a point guard was also pretty evident.
I think it’s unfair to go full revisionist history, but acting like the Celtics obtaining Jrue was a totally unforeseen outcome is kinda dumb. Like this meme.

We traded for a starting point guard making Jrue Holiday redundant. The Bucks only had to give up 1 1st round pick and 2 swaps to get Lillard and give up their redundant player. When you compare what Portland got for Lillard to what Utah got for Golbert or the Nets got for Bridges, it really looks like Portland gave both Lillard and Holiday away and got very little total in return considering how much talent those players have. Portland ran a fire sale and got 3 first round picks and 2 swaps plus some role players. I think it’s wild how little they actually got.

If anything let’s look at the Blazers organization. They send Dame to the Bucks, and then send Dame’s best defender to the Bucks’ biggest threat.

Thank you I had that frame. And sometimes it gets framed like the Bucks traded Jrue to the Celtics for legit nothing. It’s so disrespectful to Dame and the Celtics. The Celtics were able to get Jrue because they had a bunch of assets they had either drafted or in the case of Brogdon had acquired with assets they had drafted. Acting like Jrue just walked from Milwaukee to Boston for nothing is dumb af

I just can’t believe Boston traded Dame away to us.
