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

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is recruiting Damian Lillard to join the franchise as an unrestricted free agent, according to The Boston Globe. Released earlier this summer by the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard is reportedly open to signing this summer and the Celtics are one of three teams at the top of his potential list of suitors.

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.
