How awesome is the history of the Celtics? Save 301 million US dollars in 51 days and complete multiple transactions to reduce total expenses

On August 6, the NBA reached another deal. According to famous reporter Shams, the Celtics sent N'an away 3 for 1, saving $50 million in one fell swoop; Mr. Shi made several deals this summer, saving the team $301 million in just 51 days. If the operation continues, he can save $40 million.

According to famous reporter shams, the Celtics sent Nian and the next two second round picks to the Jazz in exchange for rookie RJ Louis Jr.; it is reported that the Jazz used the Collins trading special ($26.6 million) to exchange for Nian's expiration contract. The Celtics used this transaction to reduce the luxury tax from $73.1 million to $30.4 million, and the Celtics also received a $8.2 million transaction special.

NBA salary expert Yossi Gozlan further reported that the Celtics saved $50 million in wages and extravagance tax through the Nyan transaction; after completing the transaction, the Celtics exceeded the first tyrant line by $1.7 million and the luxury tax line by $9.4 million.

During this offseason, the Celtics successfully saved a lot of money through a series of transactions (sending away Porzingis, Holiday, etc.). Originally, the Celtics' protected salary plus luxury tax this summer was as high as $540 million. Now after 51 days of operation, the total salary and luxury tax of the Celtics have dropped to $239 million, saving a full $301 million.

If the operation continues and reduce the team's total salary to below the luxury tax line, the Celtics can save another $40 million.

Currently, there are 14+3 players in the Celtics -

14 regular contract players: Tatum, Jaylen Brown, White, Anthony Simmons, Hauser, Pritchard, Schillman, Tillman, Garza, Gonzalez, Minot, Keta, Boucher and Walsh

3 two-way contract players: RJ Lewis, Norris and Schulga

Due to Tatum's serious injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon, he is likely to miss the entire 2025-26 season. Therefore, Stevens quickly broke up the team and successfully reduced his spending, which is equivalent to giving Tatum a year of recovery time and setting his target for the 2026-27 season.
