00:00It was already a conversation we were having, and now when you're looking at it, this starting five, including Tatum next year, is going to cost this new ownership group $200 million.
00:08And then you've got all the luxury taxes. The roster to keep in place next year is going to cost a half a billion dollars.
00:14Are they going to do that for a team that Jason Tatum cannot play on?
00:17Wick Grossbeck told the Greg Hill Show last month that you cannot live in the second apron.
00:21That's just the reality, and you and we all have our thoughts on it that, yes, the luxury tax has a part of that, but he referenced specifically the basketball penalties.
00:30So it's only a matter of time until they start getting out of this.
00:33At first, I thought they were going to do it in increments, but are they as inclined to do it in increments now when you're looking at it like Al Horford?
00:39He's a free agent. If Tatum misses all next year, he's going to be 40 by the next time Tatum plays.
00:43Is it worth keeping him? I mean, is he going to sign for a minimum deal?
00:46Like that's something Drew Holliday is going to be 36 when Tatum comes back if he misses all next year.
00:51So it changes the trajectory of everything.
00:53Next time Tatum plays with the Celtics, I feel like Brown, Pritchard, maybe White will be there, and nobody else will be.
01:02Feels like Hauser's one that's on the chopping block.
01:04He'll be gone.
01:05He won $80 million in real money for him, and his extension kicks in next year.
01:09Because Porzingis, even if they keep him, his contract's up.
01:12Holiday is just old. He's still on a contract. He's old.
01:15And then Horford's up.
01:16Horford's here to here.
01:17So I think it's almost easy to think all those guys.
01:20And they also have to look at it as like, well, if Horford's going to be 40 next time he plays, do you prioritize signing Cornette now?
01:26Like that's a reality you have to have. He's 10 years younger than him.
01:29And Cornette has been a player they really like that's been really good and effective in this offense.
01:33Like, I don't know.
01:34Like, everything changes with this team.
