Their record would be the same with Jrue on the team instead of dame. Lets not kid ourselves on that.
Looking at their schedule, they might start the season 3-7 or 4-6 if they are lucky.
This is not a good team, its an old aging squad whose best days are behind them. Lopez is just as done as middleton
Interesting you say that, because Adrian Griffin had designed his defense around Jrue Holiday as the point of attack defender. The last minute Dame-Jrue trade close to training camp last year spelled doom for Griffin because that type of defense was a terrible fit for Dame. And the Bucks players protested like bytches to change the defense back to what Coach Bud was doing
And they still went 30-13 with Griffin. So no, the Bucks would actually still be a good team if Jrue and Griffin were still on the team
But yes you are right they still would be the same team now with Doc Rivers though
