Sometimes the greatest financial victories aren't the huge flashy contracts, but the mid-level moves that maximize your cap space.

Just like Tax Act helps you get a great return by finding every deduction, even the small ones, to maximize your refund.

In Great Returns, presented by Tax Act, we look back at the best decisions GMs have made to land an inexpensive player who paid huge dividends down the stretch and owners

that have seen their team valuation skyrocket.

Look at the Celtics.

They had a huge luxury tax bill last summer.

They had to figure out how to shed some contracts.

They were able to turn Chris Stapp's Porzingis and drew holiday into basically four months of Anthony Simons.

And then, uh,

like an $8 million version of the Porzingis contract.

And they gave away a couple of second round picks.

All of a sudden they're under luxury tax.

And the guys who are playing for those guys were doing just as well.

Shireman, Keita, Hugo Gonzalez.

Like they just figured out how to patch together because they were shrewd about it.

That's the Celtics.
