I suppose it would be silly to point out that Kemba played more games than Brogdon last year and was the superior player.
Or that Brogdon had missed more games in his last 2 years with the Bucks than Kemba did in 8 years with Charlotte.
Saying "what Boston needed" in the summer of 2019 through the lense of what Tatum and Brown are now is pretty silly. Neither Tatum or Brown looked really that close to being ready to be the 1 and 1a guys on offense, hell they didn't even look like they were ready in the first half of last year. But yeah if you knew for certain that both of them would be all nba caliber scorers by the beginning of this year then you take Brogdon
You're now moving your goalposts. I already laid out the reasons
why Boston signed Kemba and why it was understandable that they chose him over Brogdon at the time. That being said many here recognized before last offseason that Brogdon was the better fit with Tatum and Brown longterm, also for the reasons that I laid out in the other thread. When you have guys like Tatum and Brown what you need around them are gritty switchable defenders that can hit open shots.
For the record, I was not one of them, I liked the Walker signing at the time because was a potentially good fit as a short term closer and a positive clubhouse presence to help wash away the stink of Kyrie. Had Ainge taken my suggestion and had an exorcism performed on the organization to get rid of the lingering Kyurse, it might have even worked out.
Also, Terry Rozier with Charlotte is not a particularly good basketball player, a mediocre/bad team get's far far better when they take him off the court.
I understand not watching much Hornets basketball, but Rozier isn't a bad player. We all have nightmares about contract year Rozier (and it's one reason I'm in favor of teams trading guys that they don't want to extend early, contract year heroics tend lead to shitty hoops). And Boston, literally, doesn't need superstars around Tatum and Brown. Their ascension basically means that what Boston needs are guys like Marcus. Rozier could have provided Boston with efficient shooting on a friendly deal (his current contract was not driven by the market, it was driven by the
exact amount of money necessary to make a two way sign & trade work so that the Hornets could save face after letting the most popular player in team history walk). He would be fine for what the Celtics actually need with the Jay-Crew having gone supernova.
