While some fans and analysts of the Boston Celtics are wary of a potential signing of former Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard, others see it as a potentially near-ideal paring of talents made possible by the extraordinary circumstances making such an outcome possible in the first place. Lillard, who was cut by the Bucks to make room for signing former Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner, had a massive hit on Milwaukee’s cap ahead of a season he will be out injured.
But the move to waive the ex-Bucks floor general opens up a chance for a team to pay him a smaller offer in the present in order to have him on the team when he does return to the court — and for cheap. Is there a case to be made that Dame’s talent is too great to worry much about fit?
