What does the Celtics want to do? Half-deprived Lillard is offered for a year s minimum salary, and will heal Tatum with his injuries?

Not long ago, the Bucks cut Lillard using the highest extension clause in NBA history. His remaining two-year salary of 113 million will be paid in five years, with about $22.6 million a year. Lillard has now passed the clarification period and has become a complete free agent, which is also the first time he has become a free agent in his career. There have been many different opinions about Lillard's next home, among which the Celtics, Warriors and Rockets are all interested in chasing Li's coach, but Lillard himself is open to joining the Celtics. The reason is likely to be related to Tatum, because the two of them have a very good personal relationship.

It is reported that the Celtics will offer Lillard a year-based salary, and Lillard no longer requires the contract amount. As long as he can spend the next season happily, he will have a guaranteed income of US$22.6 million per season. For the Celtics, although the team has limited salary space, it is also a good choice to sign a top 75 star in a year. Even if Lillard becomes a free agent again after the next season, the Celtics are confident that they will renew their contract with him.

It is worth mentioning that after the Celtics signed Lillard, there will be two players in the lineup who have recovered after the Achilles tendon rupture. Among them, Tatum returns to the arena as early as March next year, while Lillard will return before and after the All-Star Game next season. These two brothers are also considered to have a companion on the road to recovery!
