The Celtics should be a luxury-tax payer but likely won’t have too steep a bill unless restricted free agent Grant Williams gets a bigger payday than expected. If Bogdan Bogdanović picks up his $18 million player option, the Hawks would be narrowly over the luxury-tax line but likely close enough to avoid paying the tax if ownership prioritizes that.

Less than full MLE but can likely avoid tax (7): Bulls, Cavs, Grizzlies, Hawks, Nets, Pelicans, Wizards.

Over cap but can use full nontaxpayer MLE (4): Kings, Knicks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers.To summarize before diving in fully, these are the most likely categories for all 30 teams, though many can (and some will) change groups in the offseason: At that cap figure, RealGM projects the nontaxpayer midlevel exception would have a starting salary of $11.4 million, the taxpayer MLE starting at $7 million and the room exception at $5.8 million.

These estimates use the NBA’s most recent projection of a $134 million salary cap and $162 million luxury-tax line for the 2023-24 season (the actual figures will not be calculated until June).
