Hoopsworld has updated their Celtics salary page reflecting the Nets deal. As it stands, our guaranteed total is about $68.3M. We're probably not bringing back White, Joseph, or Wilcox, and Randolph isn't even a lock. However, factoring in Randolph's non-guaranteed as well as Olynyk's starting salary, we'll bit sitting at just a little bit over $71M.

The projected luxury tax is $71.6M, so it looks like the C's are just able to scrape under that threshold by a few hundreds of thousands. Of course, it would still be nice to balance out the roster better, and it's always good to shed unwanted salaries as a rebuilding team, but as it stands Boston won't have to worry about making further moves to avoid the luxury tax and/or potential repeater offenses.

Priority #1 is avoiding the luxury tax. If we are going to be building toward an eventual contender, we want to keep that contender together, and not be in "repeater" territory in year 1 or 2 of a good team.

randoph, white, and joseph combine for almost $3,000,000 in non-guaranteed salary. i can't see more than one, if any, of them making the team right now.

next, year a rough and crude accounting says that if they jettison bogans and crawford, their payroll would be around $38,000,000. but by the same token, avery's due for a new contract and so is rondo.

it will be a tough choice on what to do on rondo.

this year ainge will pinch those thousand dollar bills and try to catapult salaries. meaning forget free agents.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Yeah, I do not seeing us signing any body of worth.   I do see Ainge trying to use the trade exception but I could be wrong there, who knows.
