Hindsight is 20/20 but this trade would be rejected faster than fast if this was presented today. The whole point of my "youth movement" at the time was betting on young talent before they had fully proven they were on track to be something special to maximize value. The trades that DON'T look like this are either going to someday or I made a big mistake. But in fairness, I still think Randle is really talented and could probably be widely considered a core building block for a contender if he was on a team that valued him a bit more, so in that sense this trade really shouldn't be considered anything except a preference move. Brown is awesome and one of my favorite players, but he's got three max level players on his team (Kyrie/Hayward/Horford) and an elite young wing partner in Tatum that'll make it really hard for him to ever produce at a level that makes it clear how good he really is, so in that sense the deal may still end up a wash.

Ulis sucks but Brown would be hot shit on any team that isn't Boston.
