>NBC Sports mentions that according to two close sources he has been earning $35 million over seven years from the Boston Celtics since his retirement. The hefty payout is from a deferred salary and is set to expire in 2024.
>Kevin Garnett retired from the NBA in 2016, but set up his deal with the Celtics so that he’d get paid $5 million every year until 2024.
Most of the article is a bunch of filler bs about his career

The reward for what he brought to the Celtics in his tenure….

Edit: I mean his last season with the Celtics was 12/13.

Clear case of cap circumvention! His contract should be voided and he should enter free agency! ^/s

Celtics should’ve just paid Doc instead of letting him coach and choke

How is this not a salary cap breach? Breaches the over 38 rule too. This is either complete bullshit or there will be an investigation.
Edit: I wish some one would give me a real answer, as I can’t see how this doesn’t count against the cap. They are just giving him the money? What is it deferred from? his time playing with the team? So it counted against the cap in 2007-2013 and he didn’t take the money then? That isn’t “still making bank”.

Would this deferred salary count against cap even when retired?

This is definitely bad for him. He could have invested that 35M and probably doubled it by now. Very team friendly to have deferred.
