Recovering Dame Lillard teaming up with Steph Curry who's nearing the later stage of his career? Is that a good team waiting or an aging injured disaster waiting to happen? Seems like the Warriors made the call, but nothing is set in stone atm... oh, and Lillard probably won't even play next year and he's 34, so... what's really the point?

Lillard received calls from Golden State, the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, who are among the many teams that would be interested in signing Lillard sooner rather than later, The Athletic's Sam Amick, Eric Nehm and Joe Vardon reported in a story Wednesday, citing league sources.

The catch is that the 34-year-old Lillard suffered a devastating torn left Achilles in Game 4 of the Bucks' first-round playoff series on April 28 and likely will be sidelined most, if not all, of the 2025-26 NBA season.
