If the Boston Celtics get their way by the 2022 NBA trade deadline due to arrive this Feb. 10 at 3 pm ET, the ball club will be both younger in age and cheaper in terms of salary owed according to reporting by Heavy.com’s NBA insider Steve Bulpett.
With the trade of Juancho Hernangomez to the San Antonio Spurs as part of a three-team deal that sent Boston Bol Bol and PJ Dozier in return with a lighter hit on their cap sheet, it has become near canon that the team would probably be angling to get under the luxury tax if possible ahead of the deadline.
In a recent article, Bulpett related that he’s been hearing this is indeed the goal, along with a desire to free up space on the roster to let the team’s younger players show what they have in the second half of the 2021-22 season after being buried behind vets in the first half.
