The Boston Celtics will almost certainly have one of the NBA’s most expensive payrolls for the 2022-23 season, and they will be a luxury tax paying team as well. In a new article by cap guru Yossi Gozlan on our sister site HoopsHype, the Celtics are projected to have an anticipated payroll of $170.1 million and a tax bill of $45.2 million for a combined $215.3 million
That figure would make them the fifth-most expensive team in the league. Only the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks are projected to have a pricier payroll this season.
