After shedding key players last summer to avoid luxury tax penalties, they now face a punishing cycle: staying under the tax one year to spend freely the next two — only to hit harsh repeater penalties again. Their playoff struggles exposed the lack of veteran depth, prompting front-office boss Brad Stevens to rethink long-term strategy. Meanwhile, teams like the Knicks are proving that signing a team-friendly superstar — like Jalen Brunson — can unlock roster depth. For Boston, the challenge is balancing mid-level exceptions and avoiding tax penalties while chasing a title. It’s a league-wide headache — and the Celtics are right in the middle of it.
