Looks like there will be major changes to the Celtics roster after this season

Gilbert has the money to pay if they team has a shot to win either this year or next. I know that he still wants to prove that he can win 1 w/o Bron. Over time, they are going to have to let some players go because stay over the apron cripples the team long term.I see Mobley's extension begins next season. That puts them over the 2nd apron.
Struss contract is the one that hurts.

These financial penalties shouldn't be all that big of a deal to the supposed billionaire owners raking in 100 of millions of dollars of profit every year from their team.that second apron penalty too much. It's like 189 million. Cap is 140, 1st apron is 171 million.
they're like 4 million over the 2nd apron right now, but next season is REALLY BAD. They got 225 million already on the books and are projected to be almost 18 million over the projected 2nd apron right now. Their 5 core starters next season at 190 million alone.

It's why Phoenix gonna try and dump KD in the offseason. They're 26 million over the 2nd apron THIS season and are paying massive penalties. Cleveland gonna have to make some choices this summer too as they're projected to be over the 2nd apron next season as well.
Dan Gilbert is worth 20 billion. NBA can't generate a tax bill big enough to matter to him.
They can't pay these over apron penalties they need to get their money up or sell the team to someone who has there money up.

It’s not just the financial penalties
You can only trade 1 player at a time you can’t combine salaries, you can’t use the taxpayer MLE or sign players that are waived if they made more than it, you can’t use cash in trades, you’re limited in what picks you can trade and if you’re in 3 of 5 years then your pick will get automatically moved to #30
Hire more competent executives and they already would be

The CBA is so fukking ass, and Adam Silver is ass. I dont even like the Celtics but I can fully admit that it's bullshyt that they gotta break up due to penalties.
The gold standard that everyone swears by (NFL) is even more extreme with it.
And teams arent being penalized, they are being protected. All these mechanisms from the cap on down are intended to save owners money.
They arent...thats why they upped the ante and basically instituted a hard cap and started messing with exceptions and trades because you have always had owners thatThese financial penalties shouldn't be all that big of a deal to the supposed billionaire owners raking in 100 of millions of dollars of profit every year from their team.

The CBA aprons are stupid because shortsighted owners chose to fukk over themselves

aka bx_representer
they have draft picks to keep replenishing the cheap talent around them.
So the Wallace's, Dort's and even Hartenstein's are the ones who could wind up elsewhere.
2nd rounders are gonna have to hit at a higher rate.

Just wanted to say fukk Al Horford
Sam Hauser is on the bench and projected to make 10 million next season. Jrue and Porzingis due a total of 60 mil, Tatum and Brown are 105 million combined next year. This shyt was never sustainable. I expect Hauser and either Jrue or White to be shipped off. Al gonna retire.
