The Boston Celtics latest signings are part of their luxury tax plan. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, who recently took a deep dive into the Celtics signing big man Charles Bassey and converting two way point guard Max Shulga to a regular contract.
Bassey, of course, had been a fan favorite of the Sin City Celtics in the NBA's 2025 Las Vegas Summer League, and Shulga has been bumped up to a two-year contract for at least the time being. But neither may not remain in those roles for long pending how Boston's front office plans to navigate their status as a non-taxpaying ball club this season in the nudst of a presumptive quest to end their status as a repeater tax payer.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about why this matters, and how the Celtics are going about it.
