sports.yahoo.com/nba-nbpa-reach-tentative-agreement-on-reported-7-year-cba-that-includes-in-season-tournament-064545059.htmlNew provisions in CBA Among the major inclusions in the new CBA: the long-discussed in-season tournament and a minimum game requirement for major end-of-season awards, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The in-season tournament could begin next season with the expectation that it would include games as part of the regular season schedule in pool play and an eight-team, single-elimination tournament in December, according to ESPN. The semifinals and final are expected to be played in a neutral location. The tournament championship game would add one game to two teams’ schedules, but the remaining teams would continue to play 82 regular season games. The winning team reportedly would receive $500,000 per player in prize money, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Players would need to appear in a minimum of 65 games for consideration in major awards, including MVP and All-NBA teams. The game requirement is in response to load management that has plagued the league in recent seasons. Many of the league’s stars are missing games, leaving fans at the mercy of the late injury reports to know whether they will see these players in person. A new luxury tax level — estimated at $17.5 million above the current luxury tax, according to ESPN — also was established in the CBA that prevents teams from using midlevel exceptions in free agency. The league was pushing for an “upper spending limit” or a hard salary cap, which would have established a ceiling on how much teams could spend. Some teams are willing to pay a luxury tax that matched or even exceeded their total player salary payroll, which could be viewed as a disadvantage to smaller-market teams. The new luxury tax level is a seeming compromise. This change reportedly will be phased in over several seasons. In response to the new luxury tax level, there could be new trade exceptions for teams that do not spend at the top of the tax. This could create new opportunities for teams to add players in free agency. Those changes are not yet fully known. Another way that teams can add additional players comes from an increase in two-way contract slots from the current two to three in the new deal, according to ESPN. The CBA also increases the upper limits on veteran players’ contract extensions from the current 120% increase to a 140% increase, according to ESPN.

so IF I understand the new CBA high tax line rule:
if it was effect this season, Boston would not have been able to use the MLE on Gallo. The team is over the new higher Tax line which would be 17.5M over the current tax line of 150.267M. That would have meant the new higher tax line would have been $167.767M and Boston has over $175M in salary's on the cap now.

Brown has virtually no incentive to sign this summer without the supermax, as even with the increase to 140 percent, he would be eligible for a similarly structured extension from Boston regardless of award status when he reaches unrestricted free agency in the summer of 2024. All of which means the Celtics need to hope Brown lands one of 15 All-NBA berths this summer to entice an extension. Boston would still be well positioned to retain him over rivals, but an early extension would eliminate a storyline that would linger throughout the 2023-24 season. 38 mins ago – via Chris Forsberg @ NBC Sports

NBA will implement a second salary cap apron for highest-spending teams
The NBA is curbing the ability of the highest-spending teams, such as the Golden State Warriors and the LA Clippers, to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while still maintaining mechanisms to add talent to the roster. The NBA is implementing a second salary cap apron — $17.5 million over the tax line — and those teams will no longer have access to the taxpayer mid-level in free agency. Those changes will be eased into the salary cap over a period of years. Under these changes, Golden State’s Donte DiVincenzo, Milwaukee’s Joe Ingles, Boston’s Danilo Gallinari and former Clippers guard John Wall wouldn’t have been able to sign with those teams last summer. 1 day ago – via Adrian Wojnarowski @ ESPN

so moving forward if we assume both Tatum and Brown are here, Boston will NOT have the MLE to add talent . I did read there may be a a new TPE available to teams that fall between the two Tax lines ( probably the amount under the higher tax line a team is I guess).
for instance, lets say Boston has $5M under the higher tax line, if what I read is true, they would have a TPE worth up to that $5M to bring in a player in trade

Adding a third 2-Way may have saved us from losing Samanic to the Jazz.
That's just a 10-day contract at this point set to expire Sat 4/8 but he could be signed to an NBA contract unless his agent comes back to the Celtics to be on a contender rather than a rebuilder. The Jazz signing him to a 10-day as the G-League playoffs got under way is an outrage and never s/b allowed again. Even if a 3rd 2-way helps, no way should an NBA team be able to pilfer another teams minor league talent once a team makes the playoffs. Pilfer your own minor leaguers all you want (especially a lottery team looking for talent or to fill in its' roster).

I dunno Boston could have offered him a 10 day also, we still have a open roster spot after all.
I'm not going to blame anyone for getting a guy we could have kept ( but obviously they didn't want to). And I am always willing to give Ainge a kick anytime I can...LOL.
I am fully on the bring back IT train now, just for the fun of watching him cheer on the bench in the playoffs.

ESPN Reporting with @bobbymarks42: In new CBA, high-spending teams above a second-apron of luxury tax aren’t allowed to send cash in deals, trade first-round picks seven years away or sign players in the buyout market. twitter.com/wojespn/status…
YIKES!

Another limitation for teams that go above the second apron of the luxury tax is that they can’t take in more money than they send out in trades, sources said.

Spotrac has the tax paying MLE at only $5M , down form the projected $7M before the new CBA was signed.
for non tax paying teams its going to be a bit over $12M.
the balancing starts next year it seems.

For 2023-24, the salary cap is projected to be $134 million, and the luxury tax line is set to be $162 million. The first apron is set at $7 million above the luxury tax level in each season of the CBA (so $169 million for 2023-24) and the second apron is set at $17.5 million above the tax threshold (or $179.5 million). In future seasons, all of those numbers will rise at the same rate. There are at least six teams, including the Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns, that are projected to be above the first apron but below the second apron in 2023-24. The Philadelphia 76ers could join the group if James Harden signs a $47 million max contract in the offseason. We currently project the Warriors, Clippers and Miami Heat to be over the second apron in 2023-24. 12 hours ago – via Multiple contributors @ ESPN
