Will the new Boston Celtics owner keep the team's title core together in the face of their historic payroll next season? The Celtics as a franchise will be on the hook for close to a half billion (yes, you read that right, billion with a 'b') dollars when player salaries and the punitive tax levied on Boston's title-contending roster comes into effect, thanks to the league's current collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
