Brad Stevens has an expensive team, but he still has options to improve the Celtics this summer
As NBA teams continue to get smarter about how they build their rosters and plan for the future, fans have only gotten hungrier for information about what team-building options are available to their favorite organizations. We don’t have direct access to Mike Zarren and Keith Smith has moved on to greener spreadsheets.
With that in mind, we’re partnering with SalarySwish to use their data to attempt to answer every single question you could possibly have about the Celtics’ financial situation (and other team-building considerations).
Below is our attempt at an updating, living and breathing document answering every query you could possibly have on that front, with updates and context as the team moves forward. So bookmark this page for all the latest changes as the team moves forward!

FAQ
Now, let’s answer some of your most frequently asked questions about the Celtics’ salary cap and draft pick situations moving forward.
How much salary cap space can the Celtics have this offseason?
There was no reasonable way for the Boston Celtics to generate room under the salary cap this summer. In fact, were always going to be over the salary cap, the 1st apron, and the 2nd apron. Championship-caliber teams can be very expensive, and keeping them together can be even more costly.
Instead they focused on bringing pretty much the entire roster back from their championship run (with a few minor exceptions).
How much will the Celtics pay in luxury taxes this year?
As of right now, the Celtics are slated to pay over $41 million in luxury taxes, due to their payroll of approximately $188 million being nearly $19 million over the luxury tax limit.
Next year the number could be a lot higher. Right now Salary Swish projects their bill to be 0ver $60 million.
What draft picks can the Celtics trade?
The Boston Celtics can currently trade their own first round picks in the:
- 2024
- 2025
- 2026
- 2027 drafts
The San Antonio Spurs have the right to swap 1st round picks with the Celtics in the 2028 draft (as part of the Derrick White trade). The Celtics also owe a 2029 first round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Additionally, the Celtics can currently trade the following second-round draft picks:
- 2024 second round draft pick from Dallas
- 2025 second round draft pick from Washington, Golden State, Dallas or Detroit
- 2026 second round draft pick from Minnesota, New York, New Orleans or Portland (most favorable)
- 2027 second round draft pick from Portland or New Orleans
