With free agency looming tomorrow, the Celtics front office made some decisions on Wednesday to give themselves some options heading into the offseason.
Per CelticsBlog’s Keith Smith, Boston declined a $1.6 million team option on Sam Hauser with the intent to re-sign the now restricted free agent to a long term deal. Hauser started the season on two-way contract, but after a handful of deadline deals decimated the Celtics roster at the trade deadline, Hauser’s deal was converted for the rest of the season. In his time in Maine and a few appearances with the big club, Hauser has delivered on his potential as a pure shooter and the Celtics will look to lock him up moving forward.
