Woj: Jrue to Celtics

[Roy H.]

Purely hypothetical:  Milwaukee offers us Dame for Jrue, Hauser (in place of Grayson Allen), a #1 and two pick swaps.

Any interest?

I was making a case for Jrue over Lillard straight up on Reddit. The Bucks were 9 games worse this year and that was with 22 extra Middleton games and 10 extra Giannis games. They were quite simply a worse team with overrated Lillard.

So, no, of course not. But I'm guessing this hypothetical is just making an obvious point that MIL messed up.

Yep.  I don't know what Milwaukee was thinking, particularly because it was likely that Jrue would end up with Philly, Miami or Boston.

I honestly don't think we do a straight up Lillard for Jrue swap at this point, and it has as much to do with fit as anything. Like, sure, on the whole Lillard is the better overall player right now, but he's absolutely not what this team needs. For the Celtics, Jrue is exactly what this team needs.

It'd honestly probably take a little more from Milwaukee to make that worth our while. Just no point in that kind of trade for us.

Made a minor change. But, yeah, between contract, fit, and intangibles (and you guys know how much I love intangibles based on my Smart love), MIL would have to have picks/swaps coming our way in a trade

Interesting enough. Lillard, Beal and Jrue all changed teams and only one improved their new team. Defense plus offense !

Jrue does it again.  Game Series sealing rebound.

Jrue impacts winning. The other 2 are stat padders. Well Beal is anyway

Ho man, totally worthwhile going back and reading this thread.

Some really prescient comments right back when the news first dropped. A lot of people bemoaning our lack of big men with Rob getting traded - and someone retorting that he is never healthy and cannot trust him (Rob played 6 games this year).

Clearly we had zero faith in Kornet back then (I'm sure some people still don't like Kornet), and Tillman deal hadn't yet happened obviously.
