They had to pick up the option in order to extend him since the deadline for the option and when they can agree to an extension have a gap. I think they come to an agreement. Ignore the comps for contracts...this year has been all over the place in regards to extensions due to the new CBA severely distorting each team's cap sheets and their contexts for what they do in regards to their own players.

[@DirtyWorkTurk]

Bobby Buckets lit off that lettuce!

[@3dpooltile829]

Any news of Luke Kornet?

[@danielthompson3928]

Consistent 3pters in the playoffs? We were watching different series. He was anything but consistent from 3. He was a consistent contributor overall but not from 3. Throughout the season he was consistent from 3.

[@wolfgangdurst267]

the truth is that he had even in the regular season some rough stretches from beyond the arch. It was a rollercoaster season for Hauser overall. Having said that, I really liked his signifianctly improved play on the defensive end of the floor.

[@undiscoveredstars1002]

Yeah he was 4-23 from 3 in round 2 and ECF lol

[@steveee_]

@@undiscoveredstars1002did y’all watch the finals

[@jonathanndemba7000]

But shot nearly 60 percent from 3 in the finals

[@chrish2112]

He shot 38 percent from three in the playoffs.

[@user-qp6wm4bg1i]

Not a big fan of Hauser's, tbh. To earn his keep he needs to knock down 3's as consistently as Ray Allen or Kyle Korea, but he runs hot & cold. Beyond that, he's a slow, stiff guy who gets hunted in defense. With Scheierman I see the same shooting but more athleticism.

[@Daniel_Capital]

Makes sense to give Sam the extension, so Sam is happy next year knowing he has money coming. Then next summer you can trade him either for a player or if they want to lower payroll, a pick on draft night in a strong 2025 draft. I’d trade Pritchard before I trade Hauser though, perhaps this summer

[@danielthompson3928]

Hauser is going to have 2x-3x the cost of Pritchard. So basically they will have to let go of a Horford and Pritchard in order to keep one Hauser. Pritchard is an energy guy that also provides shooting and ball handling. I’m not sure I would be able trade Pritchard and potentially release an additional role player over him. He’s a good 3 & D player but you can find those a bit more easily nowadays whereas Pritchard’s energy and ball-handling is hard to find and is significantly cheaper at that.

[@Daniel_Capital]

@@danielthompson3928 Pritchard isn’t good enough to justify his salary. Other than 2 miracle shots he was completely overmatched in the finals (2 scoreless games) and the east finals, where tj McConnell ate him alive. You can get minimum salary pgs that are better, like spencer dinwiddie for example. But to your point, i would trade pritch this year then trade sam next year, tradong both as their big money kicks in: they both cost too much for this particular team. Also Springer, he makes $4 million, which is double Hauser and Baylor. He has to be used in a trade

[@thewalruswasjason101]

They will not be able to keep him because he has priced himself out. Oh well, it happens. Let’s hope the new guys coming up make up for it. That’s the plan

Hauser is gone next year. Hes gonna get a bag of about 4 years 65m. Celtics will let him walk.

[@gullintanni]

The spacing and chemistry he has on court with Tatum is worth whatever is needed to keep him.

[@chrish2112]

Zero chance he gets that much. Go back to bed.

[@nicholaseaster58]

Hauser is not a starter in this league. Stop overrating guys like him and Pritchard 😂
