Damian Lillard, once uninterested in the Boston Celtics, is now reportedly open to joining them, a shift influenced by his friendship with Jayson Tatu

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is attempting to recruit Damian Lillard in free agency, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe.

While Turner coming to Milwaukee was certainly a shock, the most surprising part of the offseason was likely when the Bucks waived and stretched Damian Lillard. After tearing his Achilles in the playoffs, it was always possible that Lillard’s time with Milwaukee was over, but it came as a surprise to see it end so suddenly.
