The Boston Celtics have become among the NBA’s most expert users of the traded player exception (TPE), the cap management quirk that lets trades be completed asynchronously, or not at the same time for both sides. And after the team elected not to use their massive, $17.1 million TPE generated by the decampment of shooting guard Evan Fournier to the New York Knicks, the team still has two more fairly substantial TPEs they could use to add talent to the team.
But not everyone thinks they will after having added Malcolm Brogdon and Danilo Gallinari via trade and the mini- midlevel exception respectively — even with the third center not yet decided.
Among such persons is Heavy’s Sean Deveney, who recently was the guest of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat” podcast, where he and hosts Evan Valenti and Adam Kaufman discussed the potential fate of those remaining TPEs.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the trio had to say about the future use of TPEs by the Celtics.
