I'm not a salary cap guy but I'm fascinated by it this year because I really want them to stay under the luxury tax one more year before diving head first into it next year. So if I get any of this wrong feel free to set me straight. I got the cap hit numbers from
this place. For the recent draftees I just used the rookie scale.
Roster : $117 million total
1. Kemba ($34.4 million)
2. Smart ($13.4 million)
3. Brown ($23.9 million)
4. Tatum ($9.9 million)
5. Theis ($5 million)
6. Teague ($3.6 million, if he got the BAE, less if he got the vet minimum)
7. TT ($9.3 million)
8. Grant ($2.5 million)
9. Time Lord ($2 million)
10. Nesmith ($2.9 million)
11. Langford ($3.6 million)
12. Pritchard ($1.7 million)
13. Semi ($1.8 million)
14. Edwards ($1.5 million)
15. Green? ($1.5 million)
Dead Money: $1.1 million total
Yabusele (($1 million)
D Jackson ( $93K)
2-way
Tacko (doesn't count)
Tre Waters (doesn't count)
That's a total of $118.1 million in roster and dead money. Unless there are other costs I'm not counting, that leaves about $14.5 million to play with before they hit the $132.6 million luxury tax. I know there are websites that track this stuff but with all of the recent news that hasn't yet turned into official transactions, I couldn't find anything giving a peak at where the Celtics are right now. Did I mess it up?
