2025-2026

2nd Apron - 207.8M

1st Apron - 195.9M

Luxury Tax - 187.9M

Boston Celtics Total Salary - 208M

Simons - 27.6 M (expiring)

Niang - 8.2 M (expiring)

If we can somehow unload both Simons and Niang (total 35.8M), that would put us at 172M, which is way beyond the luxury tax, and would give us 15M to sign a couple of players we want to check during out soft tank season.

Yeah shedding salary isn’t that easy or simple either

Under the luxury tax. “Beyond” implies we’d be over it.

What does everyone think about trading Simons and Tillman for kuzma and a first?

We then trade kuzma back to Washington for smart.

We get under the 1st apron, grab a first, and get Marcus back

I’m pretty sure the bucks don’t have a tradeable 1st

Wizards won’t trade what would be a high pick for Tillman and Simons. And I don’t think we can aggregate multiple players in a trade if we’re still in the 2nd apron.

We’re trading Simons and Tillman to the bucks not wizards. Bucks may actually be the only team who would trade a first if it could help them:

Get rid of kuzma
Get good rotation players in

We’re barely over the second apron so it wouldn’t be a problem to get under again if we need to.

My bad I totally forgot that Kuzma is with the Bucks now

What first? They do not control their first round pick until 2031. They are still reeling from the trade to acquire Jrue Holiday and then the trade to acquire Dame

Love Smart but the timing isn’t right to bring him back.

If Horford stays, this would make the above numbers higher, and would subtract from the 15m. available.

No sense keeping Big Al u less he agrees to a really low number, we aren’t chasing a chip this upcoming season

Simons is the one to go but I think he will be traded mid season. Hauser for a big is next once teams see a need for shooting .

Shouldn’t we trade now, so we can properly tank and have a higher draft pick?

Brad wants value for Simmons. He will look good jn our offense. We are not winning much with him scoring with no beef.

We are looking to offload Simons contract to get under the luxury tax, so we shouldn’t be looking to get someone in return, hopefully. Just picks.

If you dump off Simons and hauser and don’t get back a true rotation level player then your team will be devoid of talent and tradable salary for the future .
