I wonder, if the Celtics can get out of Jabari Bird's salary, if Ainge then sends Rozier to a team under the cap for a future pick would Boston get under the luxury tax number. If so, that sounds like a viable deal.

If so, that sounds like a viable deal.Sending out a useful rotation player who was a major contributor in the playoffs last year for a future pick to get under the cap doesn't really sound like an Ainge deal to me, unless the future pick is potentially really good.I think given that the team hopes to contend this year I would expect that any Rozier trade would at minimum bring back a guy who could theoretically get some minutes off the bench in a playoff series, even if it's just as a matchup-specific specialist.

Hmmm.
