The defending champion was eliminated, the largest supermarket in NBA history will open, and the opportunity for teams to strengthen is here

As the Celtics lost the game with a huge difference of 38 points on May 17, they officially ended the season. The curse of the defending champion not being able to break through the semi-finals for six consecutive years continues to come true. The Celtics are the focus of various teams this offseason. One is that the team has been rumored to change their bosses in the middle of the season and the team will be predicted to reshuffle the team to rebuild the salary structure. This rumor has become more intense with the failure to win the championship.

Teams will not only observe whether the Celtics will put several core veterans on the shelves, but also observe how the Celtics operate under the luxury tax and how they deal with salary issues under the perverted new labor-capital agreement with 500 million yuan. This is also an operational example for teams to win the championship or defend the title in the future. After all, if the team wins the championship, then by leveraging the title of three consecutive games, the team owner will maintain the championship team with huge luxury taxes. However, now the game is bleak and next season may still have to accept the huge loss of combat power without Tatum, and it may become a high probability of demolition of the team. The Celtics in the 25-26 season will have to pay 231 million yuan (including first-round pick salary) and 263 million yuan in luxury tax after losing Horford, Greg and Connet without making any signings. "Thanks to the new version of the labor agreement" If they don't sell people, they will become the first team in NBA history to have extra-gross wages.

If it does not change, next season will be their third consecutive tycoon line in five consecutive years. The team will not only not be able to use the middle class, not sign first and then exchange, not trade discounts, and not package players to exchange stars. The first round of the next seven years will be forcibly reduced to the end of the first round. If the first round of 2032 is confiscated if it is promoted again the year after the next year. In fact, long before the start of the playoffs, the team's boss Grossbeck said that the current NBA does not allow any team to surpass the second rich line for three consecutive years. In view of this, the dissolution of the Celtics is basically certain.

At present, Porzingis and Holiday are the two most likely to be sent away, but these two are not easy to trade. Porzingis's attendance rate has been worrying in the past two years due to various physical problems. His three-point shooting percentage has been further reduced in his trading space this year. Although his contract is only 30.73 million a year, his positioning is indeed very embarrassing. With his strength, the team is not very stable as a mercenary for a year. The team pays money and sends it to garbage depends on whether any team accepts the "money payment" operation.

Holiday's problem is even more serious. When he renewed his contract with the team for 4 years and 135 million in April last year, this contract was actually a little premium. However, from the perspective of the top team, the basic value of Holiday Brother is only useful in the playoffs facing the top players' 1v1 defense and a few 1-2 key three-pointers. The strength of the Celtics is to accept his 56.5% real hit in the regular season and a rhythm of less than 100. If Tatum is lost next year, winning the championship will not be the actual goal of the Celtics. It would be a luxury to keep him a 35-year-old veteran, but it would be difficult to give out his three-year, 105 million contract.

If Platinum and Holiday cannot send it away, then they can only touch Jaylen Brown, but his contract is also super large and the premium is obvious, it depends on how the teams who want to strengthen it will consider it. The team's most trade-worthy dividend contract is Derek White and Prichard. The market conditions of the latter two will obviously attract a lot of team attention.

Before this, some experts said that if the Celtics were forced to pay for money and cut off their arms to survive, teams with salary space such as the Rockets, Nets, and Spurs would be the main takeovers. The second tyrant line of the new labor contract is the operation of the top team. Once you cannot win the championship, you must send away some high-quality chips for the team's future, instead of repairing and scrubbing for another year as before. For teams like the Rockets and the Thunder, this is also a problem that must be faced in the future.
