Luxury tax threshold is 170m, the Celtics swapping Jrue for Gafford would still have them way over the luxury tax line. Do the owners want to keep paying a compounding luxury tax for a team that basically has 0 chance of contention with Tatum out the year? Probably not, but crazier things have happened I guess
Then it would take more than just Jrue if theyre trying to salary dump. From listening to Boston sports, the vibe is keeping the core of tatum, brown & white. I've also heard a rumor that Brad Stevens still wants to keep KP, if he does well in FIBA (health wise) Idk anything can happen look what happened to Marcus Smart.
0% chance of contention is an insane comment 😂
Without Tatum they're still winning 50+ games and likely getting a top 4 seed still.
I have no championship aspirations for the Celtics next season and i'm alright with that, lesser expectations can help the team out. Idk about 50 games but I'm excited to watch just hope they're keeping JB.
