Traded player exceptions (TPEs) — the “coupon” that allows teams to complete a non-simultaneous trade months after the first players end up being dealt into another team’s cap space — are increasingly an important tool in today’s NBA, and the Boston Celtics have been one of the league’s most frequent and creative users of TPEs as a team-building tool in recent years.
And at the 2022 NBA trade deadline, the team created several new TPEs to add to their rolling collection of trade exceptions, good for a year in most circumstances (the pandemic upset that a bit), several of which could be put to use by Boston this coming offseason.
Let’s take a quick look at the TPEs Boston has to work with — and for how long.
