[Woj] Adding Hauser’s extension to the Celtics’ 2025-2026 payroll elevates it to a projected $225 million with an additional $210 million luxury tax penalty — highest in league and over the second-apron for a second consecutive year.

   Praying the new owner is willing to spend whatever to keep the team together, but I don’t know how realistic that is

   So it’s Bezos or Saudis buying the team

   I was curious if the Baylor signing was Hauser insurance but Celtics said “fuck it, we ride.”

   That’s a next year problem.

   I wonder what Brad is thinking and what Big Al is thinking right now.

   I think giving this core 2 more chances is reasonable. If we fall short, I can understand shedding salary in the 2026 offseason.

   Elevate the luxury tax expense to the moon and then sell the team so you don’t have to pay it!
