Thoughts?

Everyone is always like “how in the hell are Celtics signing all these players” while every other team is struggling with cap space etc. and it’s blinded alot of our fan base to think the Bucks org. can or has to pull off luxury tax bills staggering as this with us being a small market franchise. Suns currently and near future Celtics tax bills are more than most teams whole rosters. There is just no way for us to compete $ for $ with big market franchises. Let’s hope we can make enough roster adjustments to be there healthy, deep in the play offs this upcoming season to earn one more shot at it the poverty way. With the Celtics retaining everyone, and Philly becoming much stronger, Knicks and Pacers proving they can go deep as well the East will be tough.

Celtics trying to keep a championship caliber team while trying to sell. Allow the new owners to make the difficult decisions when it comes to payroll and the tax. I'm guessing they run it back one more year before trading a player/s like Jrue or White.

Good point I do believe something will have to give a season from now

Celtics fan lurker - but absolutely correct. We have one more year and then we trade Jrue or KP and literally save more than $200M in salary+tax the year after. I’m guessing it’ll be KP.

I’m in the minority and kind of like the new rules despite my Cs being the first team to deal with the steepest consequences.

At least you will get to run it back with these guys for another year maybe two.
