The Boston Celtics‘ plans for their 2022 NBA offseason may be inching closer to completion with word coming from the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach that the team has secured one of its last remaining signings of note in securing a longer-term deal with reserve forward Sam Hauser.
The Virginia product’s sustained high-level shooting from the perimeter (43.2%) in 2021-22 made it clear that the sharpshooting wing ought to be part of the Celtics’ future, particularly with the team somewhat thin on quality options at the 3 and 4 for a team expected to contend for a title. Himmelsbach relates that Hauser “has agreed to a three-year contract with the Celtics worth approximately $6 million.”
The deal’s first two years are fully guaranteed, notes the Globe reporter.
