The NBA and the NBPA reportedly reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement in the early hours Saturday morning and a couple of new items have some effect on the Celtics.
The bad news for Boston is that it likely will be limited in making additions in free agency for the foreseeable future. A second salary cap apron will be put in place for teams that are $17.5 million above the tax line, which will prohibit those teams from using the mid-level exception, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Boston is one of the handful of teams affected by the new apron.
