The Celtics have engaged in significant salary-shedding trades, notably involving Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, to avoid hefty penalties under the NBA's new 'second apron' luxury tax rules. Draymond Green, a vocal critic on his podcast, argues that these moves signify an end to traditional super teams, attributing responsibility to the National Basketball Players Association for agreeing to terms in the collective bargaining agreement that may harm player interests. He expresses frustration over how the new financial structure affects team dynamics in the league.
"People said they didn't want super teams anymore, well here you have it." Draymond Green highlights that the Celtics' trades reflect the new reality imposed by the second apron tax.
"When I said this, before the deal was even signed, that this is ridiculous, it is going to hurt players in the end... The PA made a s*** deal." Green critiques the recent collective bargaining agreement.
