Bucks Waive Lillard, Celtics Emerge as Frontrunner
The Milwaukee Bucks have waived Damian Lillard to create cap space for signing Myles Turner, despite Lillard's strong performance last season. Lillard, who is recovering from a torn Achilles and expected to miss the 2025-26 season, is now a top free agent attracting serious interest from the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat. The Celtics are considered frontrunners due to Jayson Tatum's similar injury and close friendship with Lillard, potentially setting up a joint return in the 2026-27 season. Miami is also actively pursuing Lillard, while the Brooklyn Nets and other Eastern Conference teams are monitoring his free agency. Lillard is taking a careful approach in selecting his next team, prioritizing championship contention when he returns. The Bucks' move has been criticized by NBA executives as 'reckless,' and the team now shifts focus to building around Myles Turner and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
