Many fans thought the 2024 NBA Champion Boston Celtics would be treading water this season, waiting for superstar forward Jayson Tatum to return from injury. <\/p>\n

However, through 36 games, Boston has risen to the No. 3 seed in the East and won two-thirds of their conference matchups. <\/p>\n

The biggest story coming out of the Celtics camp now is if and how they plan to avoid<\/a> the luxury tax.<\/p>\n

Aside from the two 50-million-dollar men, Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the most expensive player on the Celtics roster is shooting guard Anfernee Simons.<\/p>\n

Simons has been good this year, making 40 percent of his three-pointers and averaging nearly 14 points per game. <\/p>\n
