The Boston Celtics’ recent NBA championship win in June was a culmination of years of preparation and effort.
This journey began with Danny Ainge’s strategic moves, followed by Brad Stevens taking over and driving the team to success.
Consequently, it makes sense that Stevens isn’t inclined to change a winning formula, aiming to retain as many players as possible.
According to Adam Himmelsb
ach of The Boston Globe, the Celtics are exercising Sam Hauser’s $2.1 million option.
Himmelsbach also reports that both parties are expected to discuss a contract extension soon.
Hauser played a crucial role for the defending champions, excelling as their top three-point shooter and delivering critical shots, especially during the playoffs.
The Celtics faced a significant setback recently, learning that Kristaps Porzingis will be sidelined for at least six months, keeping him out of action until at least December.
Nevertheless, Joe Mazzulla’s squad has shown they can succeed without the former high draft pick.
With a talented roster that should only improve over time, the Celtics are poised to dominate not just the Eastern Conference but the entire NBA. Stevens appears committed to maintaining the current team.
