The Milwaukee Bucks recently took a surprising turn by waiving Damian Lillard, drastically reshaping their roster. Following an unexpected playoff exit, the Bucks aim to clear cap space to acquire new talent, including Myles Turner, to surround superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Amidst this transition, the Boston Celtics have emerged as a prospective landing spot for Lillard. The connection between Lillard and Celtics star Jayson Tatum, bolstered by their shared recovery from similar injuries, could be pivotal. With both players aiming for a comeback in the 2026-27 season, working together during rehabilitation may strengthen their bond and make Boston an attractive option for the All-Star guard.
