Not everyone thinks it is a good idea for the Boston Celtics to sign vet guard Damian Lillard. Put aside the fact that the former Milwaukee Bucks star floor general will miss all of next season due to a torn Achilles tendon, and you still have some serious concerns regarding Lillard’s fit.

An undersized guard who has always had trouble on the defensive end of the court, his mobility might be even worse when he does get back on the court, and he is duplicative of what 2025 Sixth Man of the Year Payton Pritchard does for Boston already (and if we are being honest, better, as odd as that sounds to write). Add in the fact that the chemistry could be upset by expectations not meshing well, and there is plenty to dislike.

Cohost of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast, Bobby Manning, linked up with NBC Sports Boston broadcaster Drew Carter to talk it all over. Check it out below!
