NBA Rumors: The 3 Super Teams That Will Fight to Get Damian Lillard

Now that the impact of the Milwaukee Bucks parting ways with Damian Lillard has subsided, it's time to analyze where the veteran superstar will take his newly minted free agency talent. According to a report by The Athletic, there are three prominent teams eager to strike a deal with Lillard as soon as possible.

Sam Amick, Eric Nehm, and Joe Vardon report that the Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers are the most interested teams in reaching an agreement with Dame, despite him missing the entire upcoming season due to an Achilles tendon tear. "As expected, league sources claim that Lillard received calls from several contending teams shortly after news broke of his departure from the Bucks," they wrote. "The question is whether he wants to sign with a team now and rehab under their care or wait until next summer to reassess the situation."

The reasons for the 3 teams to sign Lillard

Three teams are highly interested in signing Damian Lillard. As for these three teams with such strong interest in Lillard? The Celtics already have a superstar, Jayson Tatum, who will miss the next season due to an Achilles tendon injury. So why not go all-in for the 2026-27 season? The Warriors are determined to win a championship while Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler are still active, so adding another superstar, even in a year, fits perfectly. And the Lakers? Well, they are the Lakers, and any available superstar will end up in their sights.

Reportedly, Lillard is thrilled by the Bucks' decision to let him go and he will relish deciding which contender to turn to next.
