Boston Celtics Announce Signing as Part of Brilliant Cap Management Plan
- Celtics re-sign Tonje to a two-way contract after a 10-day deal, while Banton is released.
- The move fits a cap-management strategy to stay under the tax threshold for the season.
- Cap guru Yossi Gozlan outlined the method of filling and un filling roster spots to manipulate taxes.
- Tonje’s 10-day deal allowed Celtics to pay him less and reclassify him on a two-way contract later.
- The Celtics are expected to sign more players in the coming weeks to complete the roster
- The strategy may involve signing players late and possibly rewarding others with postseason relevance.
- Gozlan estimates the Celtics will finish under the tax by roughly $8,000, yielding a league payout.
- Tonje’s compensation included a bonus for playing, per the report.
- The Celtics roster plan centers on three roster spots and a careful 14-day limit per stretch.
- The plan aims to coast under the luxury tax line while preserving rotation reliability late in the season.
