As Curiosity Around his NBA Future Intensifies, Damian Lillard?s Celtics Distaste Draws a Strong Response From Jayson Tatum

Damian Lillard was expected to be the talk of the town in the upcoming offseason. However, the Portland Trail Blazers star has already got all eyes on him! Where will the 32-year-old veteran move to if he finally decides to leave Portland? Is it the Miami Heat? Or the New York Knicks? Well, Lillard himself is not sure about that yet. Amidst all the furor, Dame decided to remove one team from his potential destination: Boston Celtics. Lillard has now received a response to his statement from Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum himself.

On an Instagram live yesterday, Lillard spoke about the possibility of joining several teams. That is when he revealed his disapproval of Boston. Jayson Tatum surprisingly joined Lillard’s IG Live to leave a comment.

Jayson Tatum is aware of Damian Lillard’s Boston stance

Dame Dolla may or may not leave Portland next season. The Trail Blazers over the years have failed to build a team around their main man. After making the playoffs for eight consecutive seasons, Lillard and Portland have missed out on the postseason for the past two years. This might be a reason why he may choose to leave the Trail Blazers after playing there for over a decade. One thing is for certain though, Lillard is not settling for the Boston Celtics.?

In the IG live yesterday, Lillard shared his thoughts on joining the Boston Celtics. The 32-year-old shared, “Boston is not one of the things I’m going to do.”?Looks like Tatum was listening to this along with thousands of fans. The 4-time All-Star commented on Lillard’s live,?“Damn, we get it you don’t like Boston.”?

Lillard smiled as he shared, “Now y’all got my boy JT in here, offended!” In a recent interview, the veteran guard showed his desire to play for the Miami Heat. The main reason is his “dawg” Bam Adebayo, who Lillard has close ties with. Nonetheless, fans shouldn’t look forward to Lillard teaming up with Tatum anytime soon. Just in the NBA though.

Have Damian Lillard and Jayson Tatum played before?

YES! They have won a title together as well. Team USA was made to work very hard to earn the Gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The roster was full of veterans, which included Tatum and Dame. The two balled in all the games alongside Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and many more.
