The sure-fire Hall of Famer is a free agent for the first time in his career, and the Celtics have a midlevel exception slot that could fit him nicely.

Following his stunning exit from the Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillard is attracting a lot of attention from several high-profile teams on the free-agent market.

The move from Milwaukee makes Lillard a rare star-level free agent who could sign for as little as the veteran's minimum. Several reports indicated that Lillard is thrilled to be getting out of Milwaukee (while getting his full payment) in a way that lets him choose his next destination.
