What is the impact of Damian Lillard’s trade from a Boston Celtics perspective?

What is the impact of former Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard‘s trade to the Milwaukee Bucks from a Boston Celtics perspective? Dame going to the Bucks could potentially be worse for the Celtics than if he had joined the Miami Heat.

The thinking behind this point of view is the Bucks already have Giannis Antetokounmpo, a dominant interior force, and adding Lillard — among the league’s best perimeter threats — to their roster made them a formidable team. In contrast, Miami, despite its strengths, might have been an easier matchup for the Celtics.
