With Aron Baynes agreeing to re-sign with the Boston Celtics for two years, $11 million, it’s time for a quick check of Boston’s salary cap and luxury tax situation.
First we have to look at Baynes’ new deal. Generally during free agency, deals are reported with a salary figure that is rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount. League sources indicate that Baynes is re-signing with Boston using his Non-Bird Rights. That means the new contract for Baynes will actually look like this:
- Year 1: $5,193,600.00 (fully guaranteed)
- Year 2: $5,453,280.
