There has been some reported interest from the Celtics organization (among several other ball clubs) to sign recently cut Milwaukee Bucks floor general Damian Lillard. Cut from the Bucks due to his hefty contract and status as an injured player unlikely to see the court in the season to come thanks to a torn Achilles tendon,

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.
