NBA Rumors: Damian Lillard Could Be Close to Signing with Boston Celtics

The management of Boston Celtics doesn't make a move without a plan, facing a temporary rebuilding phase. Jayson Tatum won't return to competition until the 2026/2027 season, aiming to regain competitiveness at that time. Therefore, they would be willing to bet on Damian Lillard, another player with a serious injury that will prevent him from competing next season.

Fallowing is the agricultural technique of leaving farmland unused for a year to enhance the productivity of the next harvest. This is what Boston Celtics will apply for the upcoming season, having parted ways with some key players in order to balance the books, develop young talents, and gear up for a championship run in 2027, when Jayson Tatum is fully recovered.

The recruitment of Damian Lillard aligns with this strategy. He comes at a low cost, has the power to determine his own future, his talent and competitive spirit are unquestionable... All these are advantages, but the uncertainty lies in how he will bounce back from his Achilles injury, the same one that Tatum is recovering from. Boston Celtics might find themselves putting their hopes on two players coming back from serious injuries, creating a level of unpredictability.
