If the Celtics are going to have a chance to sign Lillard, they will have to sign him to at least a two-year deal since he has a torn Achilles. They will also need to make some other moves to make it work. If Boston is going to be a viable team to bring Lillard in, they will need to clear some room to offer him the mid-level exception.

The Boston Celtics have made their interest in Damian Lillard known after his release from the Milwaukee Bucks.

When Lillard was originally traded to Milwaukee, his preferred landing spot was the Miami Heat, but with Jimmy Butler no longer on the team, and the Heat further away from title contention than they were when Lillard was originally on the trading block, that pairing seems unlikely.
