Save 238 million! 24-hour extreme saving team, what level of operation is this?

Amazing! Amazing!

Bradley Stevens took less than 24 hours to dissolve the heavy shackles pressing on the Celtics, laying the foundation for the next championship journey.

What is execution ability? This is execution ability.

Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture was reimbursed for the season, and the team's championship window was temporarily closed.

Although the Celtics lost their leading star, the huge debts they bear did not decrease, but continued to increase as the contracts of each player increased in another year. The Celtics' top priority is to reduce the team's salary and luxury tax expenses as much as possible while maintaining their future championship potential.

This job sounds simple, but it is very difficult to really achieve the best of both worlds.

Holiday's contract has been recognized as a garbage contract. The mainstream view is that the Celtics will most likely have to give the draft pick to compensate the next company if they want to clean up his contract.

As a result, the Celtics not only failed to sign Holiday, but also exchanged for Anfenny Simmons, a contract with a better average of 20+ points per game, and at the same time, they got two second round picks from the Trail Blazers.

If the opponent is a championship-level team, it would be fine if he is eager to get a champion defender like Holiday.

But the other party is a bad-selling team like the Trail Blazers. This transaction is really hard and it makes people wonder if there is any insider trading. The same is true for Porzingis after

. The latter declined severely in the just-concluded season, averaging only 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in the playoffs, shooting percentage of 31.6%, three-point shooting percentage of 15.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 68.9%, which is a perfect black hole. In the last few games of the playoffs, Porzingis fell out of the start and was almost abandoned.

has a serious decline in status and is born with a vitreous constitution. Such Porzingis is likely to be placed in the corner of the trading board to eat dust.

Unexpectedly, the Celtics sold it at a price that was close to normal, and the Hawks who took over actually paid a first-round pick for him. Through these two amazing deals, the Celtics saved a total of about $238 million in spending, including nearly $210 million in luxury tax penalty.

Today's Celtics not only lowered their salary space below the second rich line, but also obtained transaction exceptions of US$22.2 million and US$4.7 million from the two transactions, leaving enough space for subsequent operations.

The Celtics today will never repeat the mistakes of the Suns this season. They are likely to be more like the Warriors of 20 years. The Celtics who hold their first round picks in their hands may also be able to make the second pick.

This is Brad Stevens' ability, in the crack, laying the foundation for the Celtics' glorious path again with nearly impossible means. This summer, when Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture was reimbursed for the season, Stevens broke up the championship lineup without any hesitation and re-drawn a new blueprint.

In the eyes of some, Stevens was too ruthless and sent the hero to the championship again to the Trail Blazer who he did not want to go at all without notifying Holiday. This was too unhumane.

But from the perspective of the Celtics, it is really commendable to be able to send Holiday away in this way.

As for humanity, Stevens doesn't care. These things can be cultivated again. Next time, Holiday will visit North Shore Garden and put a tribute video or something, everything will be there.

Stevens set a benchmark for all other managers of the league, what is the Thunder means.

Hesitation will lead to failure. If you hesitate about one thing, you can only say that you are not capable enough or mentally not strong enough.

The true strong man always has the deepest understanding of his situation, clarify what he must do, and act quickly, instead of missing out on opportunities in his eyes and hesitation, and then missing more in constant regret, and then falling into a whirlpool of self-doubt can never crawl out.
