While the players changing teams all have a history against the Celtics, one way or another, Boston may be a winner in its own right as a trade involving three other teams has left the Celtics in a better position to land one of the top available free agents linked to the franchise.

The Boston Celtics are expected to lose Al Horford, but he remains unsigned. Many have speculated that Horford will sign with the Golden State Warriors, but the holdup remains uncertain.

The Celtics aren't the only ones eyeing Damian Lillard; the mighty Los Angeles Lakers have him on their radar too.
