I think, long-term, this is a good trade for Boston. Devers isn't a body type that's going to age well and eventually you're not getting out of the deal, let alone getting two potentially solid players for him. The "not a team player" thing is pretty specious given the FO made him the franchise player then immediately signed a different star at his position but ... if he's a dick you probably don't want him around the new core that's on its way up.
That said, the timing is hilarious and the return mid-season doesn't come close to justifying said timing. Like knowing your marriage isn't good but choosing to ask for a divorce on the flight to your two week vacation or something.
