This is the reason that Lebron may leave after next season. As soon as he knows his team cant compete with Boston he will take his talents elsewhere. Its going to be an interesting off season but if Boston can trade for Butler and sign Haywood look out.
They'll soon be paying Horford and IT 30million each.
Horford is locked up for the next 2 years at under 30M. In 2019-20 he has a player option for 30.1M. Right now they are in a much better financial situation than Cleveland thats for sure and can easily add star players (which the Cavs probably cant do without trading Love or Kyrie)
28m next season for Horford...that's close enough.
Of course they're in better financial situation - they have 1 all-star on the team...and they've yet to pay him. They can add only one max player this summer and once they extend IT they'll be maxed out.
They can trade for players but you've to then start sending players in return to match salaries.
