Following Lillard’s return to the Trail Blazers, one Boston Celtics alum, Marcus Smart, has come up as a possible target for them. The X account Celtics Lead floated the idea of Boston bringing Smart back two years after they traded him like the Trail Blazers did with Lillard.

To that end, a new update has been revealed about Boston's rumored pursuit of Lillard. According to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, Tatum has been actively recruiting Lillard to the Celtics.

Sabonis has been a nightly double-double threat since becoming a full-time starter with the Indiana Pacers in the 2019-20 campaign. His all-around production and ability to stuff the stat sheet would make him a strong fit for a Celtics team looking to stay in the title hunt.

Some sections of Boston's fan base may view this as a missed opportunity. Yet, it's vital to put things into perspective.

Despite rumors that the Boston Celtics were interested, free agent guard Damian Lillard is signing with the Portland Trail Blazers.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart disclosed his reaction to the Milwaukee Bucks waiving and extending the contract of star point guard Damian Lillard.
