NBA free agency officially kicked off on Monday evening as the negotiating window opened for eligible players and all teams across the league at 6 p.m. ET. Monday night was relatively quiet, but the first stunners of the new league year came Tuesday morning.

Following his stunning exit from the Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillard is attracting a lot of attention from several high-profile teams on the free-agent market.

At 40 years old, LeBron James wants to win, and win now. If he and the Lakers agree to part ways, these teams could make sense.

A champion center from the Boston Celtics is reportedly nearing a decision in free agency with the Golden State Warriors being a potential landing spot.

The Lakers have been the team most connected to Deandre Ayton, who was bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend, but they need multiple centers. As of now, they only have Trey Jemison and Maxi Kleber on the roster.

Of course, there are important caveats in the potential plans for both the Celtics and Lillard. From the player’s perspective, Lillard is — like Celtics star Jayson Tatum — currently rehabbing a ruptured Achilles tendon (sustained during a first-round playoff series in April).
