Sam Hauser signs extension!

[MattyIce]

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser ? one of the NBA?s most accurate three-point shooters -- has agreed on a four-year, $45 million contract extension, his agent Jason Glushon of @GlushonSM tells ESPN.

Perfect.  Very reasonable deal.

[BitterJim]

That's an awesome deal. Very tradable, too, if we need to cut salary later

I can't help but think he could have gotten more in free agency

[Atzar]

Love to see it.

[SHAQATTACK]

Baylor has a lot of work to do to replace Sam .  Sam?s job is safe for now . I think watching Baylor summer league helped influence decisions.

Glade he is back.

[Goldstar88]

This is great news!

It's great the C's are resigning everyone.  There will be plenty of teams who will trade for these contracts when the Cs need to get under the 2nd apron in 2 years.  With the cap going to go up each year by 10% when the new TV deals kick in the 2025 season they may not have that much work to do outside of having Al's 10m and Zingers 30m off the books.

Reasonable contract in vacuum but with all the tax implications that is a lot to take on.

Masterpiece off-season by Brad

The draft pick penalty rule looks daunting but keep in mind as the salary cap continues to grow so does the apron levels.

Example:

2024-25 2nd apron

$188.9M

Projected 2026-27 2nd apron

$228.5M

Better this than flushing a contender down the toilet, Nuggets style.

This really has been a perfect post title off-season. I still think back to 08 how Danny couldn?t get James Posey to stay. We are bringing every major contributor back, let?s go get 19!

[Surferdad]

This actually sounds like a bargain these days, for a rotation player.

[celticinorlando]

Bring back everyone but Svi and Brissett but add Watson and BS plus keep that extra roster spot open to address needs as you go.

For sure!
Moranis, you seem to wince/groan at everyone of these extensions. I?m confused, what would you do differently? How would you maintain this teams championship window?
