The Boston Celtics might sign former Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard. After the Bucks shocked the NBA community by waiving and stretching Dame to make room so they could sign former Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner, the dust settled, with Lillard sharing he was actually happy with this course of events.

It's true that 2025 saw Lillard make his ninth All-Star appearance, and second with the Milwaukee Bucks. However, Lillard battled deep vein thrombosis during the season, tore his Achilles in the playoffs, and was reportedly waived Tuesday in the most shocking move of the NBA offseason thus far so his old team could sign center Myles Turner.

Myles Turner's deal with the Milwaukee Bucks came together in part because the Indiana Pacers didn't feel like the 29-year-old was worth the contract he wanted.

The Milwaukee Bucks stunned the NBA community on Tuesday when they opted to waive-and-stretch the remaining two years and $113 million on nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard's contract to carve out room for 3-and-D center Myles Turner.

Myles Turner signed with the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency, and an NBA source is claiming that the Indiana Pacers didn't want to pay him.
