Celtics, the Celtics who were eliminated in the second round of this season will be extremely uncomfortable this offseason. Stevens was a little busy. Currently, the Celtics' players' salaries are as high as $231 million next season, more than the second-tier luxury tax of $22.8 million, and they need to pay up to $53.5 million in luxury tax. Double Tanhua and Holiday account for 60% of the total salary.
According to the penalty mechanism of the league's salary agreement, if the second luxury tax exceeds for two consecutive years, the next two first rounds of picks will be frozen. If it fails to drop below the standard within three years, the draft pick will be reduced to the first round last in 2032 and 2033!
At present, the Double Tenhua is likely to not trade for the Celtics, so the trading targets are Holiday (32.4 million), Porzingis (30.7 million), and White (28.1 million), which are considered tradable targets, but they need to accept salary equality or additional draft pick compensation
In short, Celtics' general manager Stevens must do this summer to avoid the team's extra luxury tax! According to the high luxury tax rate, from the 2025-2026 season, teams exceeding the luxury tax line of $22.5 million will be required to pay nearly $100 million in taxes (about twice the current tax rate). The Celtics are expected to face this penalty
