In a recent interview with the Boston Globe, Brad Stevens discussed the Boston Celtics’ efforts to retain most of their 2024 championship team. Stevens explained that their objective is to explore how far the Celtics can advance, although he also acknowledged that issues like the luxury tax and tax aprons might become factors down the line.

“What we want to do is try to get our guys locked in on fair and good extensions that they feel really good about and hopefully continue this thing as long as we can continue this thing,” Stevens said.

“We’ll cross every bridge when we get there, and the different basketball penalties that will be associated with being above the second apron, those are real, and we’ll just have to weigh those against where we are as a basketball team, and we’ll also have to weigh the financial part of that. And I’m sure part of that will be a discussion amongst whoever the new investors are.”
