Teams are looking at a huge payout if they can stay below it – we’re talking about $10 million per team, depending on how far over the league’s most profligate teams remain – which is a much bigger incentive for Boston than the small penalty for being slightly over the line.
If the Celtics waive the non-guaranteed Jabari Parker they will enter the year $4.5 million into the tax; using cash or second-rounder picks to drop off a couple of unwanted contracts (candidates include Grant Williams, Romeo Langford and surely Fernando) can fairly painlessly get the Celtics back under.

Don´t do it to yourself. It´s been nearly 20 years of Cuban and it has not happened once that the Mavs took on a bad contract for draft compensation. It might be what 29 other teams in this league do (rarely, sometimes, regularly, depending on the situation), but we have never done it, under any circumstances. You can assume the new management will change things, but don´t get your hopes up. It´s still Cuban.
