He will never be a top 50 most expensive player assuming something like 30, 32.5, 35, 37.5.
Will be closer to 100th near the end of the c
Pretty fair deal really.

Time to face the reality that this is what it was going to cost, and the Celtics knew it when they traded two rotation players and two firsts for him.
Last summer, when Jrue-to-BOS? ideas came up, I was initially against it due to Jrue’s age and $$. Quickly got behind it though (like, in a day) and now that I’ve seen him be a key to one of the better regular seasons in league history I’m pumped, personally. As long as they spend for Derrick too. I didn’t have reason to believe ownership would spend, but so far they are.
The cap is going up. The smart teams pay their players. It’s great to have lots of great players.
The money only works if he produces.

Not sure what kind of market there is for him, though. He rarely plays, and when he does he shows he's pretty raw.
Cs just need to get back the 2nd round pick they used on him.
For a 2nd apron team, paying the 14th man 6m or 7m, taxes included, is just not worth it.

That means Springer's 4m salary would actually be 6m or 7m, if you include the tax the Cs will be paying.
So I wouldn't be surprised if the Cs trade Springer after this season.

Again, I'm not really following that logic.
Everyone already knew that Boston was going to be a 2nd apron team next season (and every season for the forseeable future). Brad knew that when he made the move to acquire Springer a few weeks ago.
If what you say is true, then Brad wouldn't have made the move to acquire Springer in the first place. Why trade away assets for a guy and then trade him away 2 months later? Makes no sense.
If anything, this Jrue extension means we are *less* likely to trade Springer this offseason, since Jrue will now make about $9 mil *less* next season than he would have made if he exercised his option..

That’s why it was a somewhat curious move. My guess is they like his potential enough to invest in it next year — otherwise don’t make that move. If it were me, I’d just bring over Begarin on the minimum. But they say they’ve liked Springer for awhile, and I can see how it could potentially work out.
Regardless, as a second apron team, how could they trade him? You need exactly equal salary coming back — does anyone know if that WOULDN’T apply if “dumping” him to a team with cap space? Might need to spend another 2nd to get rid of him, honestly.

This roster is capable of winning 3 chips and a bonus chip in the early 2030s.

Isn't it true that if the Cs get rid of Springer they save money if they replace him with a cheaper player?
The logic of this is paying a 14th man around 6m or 7m is just too much.

We can afford to pay Springer that money, especially after saving around $9 mil on next year's payroll with this Jrue extension.
Wyc and Brad have made it clear that the goal is to win championships - not pinch pennies.
As of now, these players are under contract for next season:
1. Tatum
2. brown
3. KP
4. Jrue
5. White
6. al
7 hauser
8 pritchard
9. Springer
Those are the only 9 guys who have guaranteed contracts for next season. So I wouldn't necessarily label Springer the "14th man"
Then there's Walsh (non-guaranteed deal), Queta (non-guaranteed deal), Brissett (player option) and Tillman, Kornet and Svi are free agents.
But as of now, Springer is a top 9 player on the team for next season.
