The Boston Celtics have successfully completed a significant offseason move by trading Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to navigate under the NBA's tax apron. However, they are looking to keep key players like Sam Hauser, who has emerged as a pivotal rotation piece and one of the league's top shooters. While Hauser's contract may attract trade interest, reports indicate that the Celtics are not keen on moving him, focusing instead on financial flexibility without sacrificing him. Additionally, the team is also aiming to retain veterans Al Horford and Luke Kornet.

While there’s speculation around which players could be traded, including Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang, the Celtics' financial maneuvers appear solid after the recent trades. The lack of credible trade discussions surrounding Hauser underscores the Celtics’ commitment to maintaining their shooting talent as they prepare for the upcoming season.
