The Celtics are celebrating as if it’s over. I take the Heat tonight.

Rules of the game.

The new CBA makes it easier to retain players because the luxury tax thresholds are increased, resulting in lower tax bills.

It will make it extremely difficult for them to improve if they lose someone or if, for instance, Horford goes into rapid decline.

But yeah, they can absolutely keep their core.

but the new apron will significantly constrain their ability to keep their current core.

Can you explain how?

Because the two examples you gave (the draft picks, the aggregate salaries) have no impact on keeping their core intact.

It seems like they can continue paying every single player on the roster as long as they want. They just can’t keep adding to it.

How sure are we that Arcidiacano & DaQuan Jeffries are that much worse than these guys?

Arcidiacano put up 10/4/4 per 36 during his last 3 seasons with Chicago for a -2.3 BPM. He played 3300min during that span.

Is it that much worse than Vincent’s 13/3/3 per 36 and -3.4 BPM this year? In the playoffs he’s up to a -1.4 BPM.

Jeffries played a total of 5min for us. We have no idea if he’s useful or not.

Not to mention the Heat use a roster spot on 42yo Udonis Haslem, I can’t imagine him being any better than Arcidiacano at this point.

“Aaron Judge is underpaid.”

Yeah, but he’s no Pete Alonso…

They are going to have to shake up something in Boston. I don’t think they can stand pat. Horford is 36. He’s going to run out of steam eventually. There’s not a lot of internal upside given the ages of the players and the fact that they are already seasoned playoff team. Maybe Tatum can get more consistent, but there aren’t a lot of players you can look at and say, “I can see him taking the another step next year”.

Knicks were 5-1 in the regular season vs the teams in the NBA Finals.

I agree they might do better with, say, Vogel, but I still think it’s 50:50 Boston will keep Mazzulla.
