This is patently false. Stop the lies!!
You have to weigh in a lot of considerations, but the Celtics declining his 2022-23 & instead negotiating this deal could work out worse for Sam vs if he had been exercised, yes?This coming season, he’s gonna be paid about the same either way.If they had exercised, then it’s a question of does he have a job next year? Does he get a hefty bump and a longer term deal? Now, he gets a small bump in 2023-24, but it’s guaranteed. If the next two years go well and Boston exercises year 3, it looks bad for him in hindsight. If he really wanted the security of these next 2 years, likes the organization, etc… could totally makes sense for him. But, to me it looks like a nice deal for the Celts. Low risk, with the potential to have a rotation player for the cheap for a couple of years. Plus, I think he’ll be in his late 20s after the 3 years, should they exercise.
I wonder how if Udoka suspension will hurt Sam. He was a big sponsor of Sam.https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/nia-long-fiance-ime-udoka-affair-suspension-boston-celtics-171135016.html
You just don't like him. Its obvious, hey?
Why not put the blame for the entire Howard/Hausers fiasco squarely on the nitwit who was in charge. Ultimately, it resulted in his chitcannin', aina?
Howard is a better scorer than either Hauser. But, Joey and Sam both are better basketball players than Markus. The problem was Woj alined himself with #0 from the start and that was doomed to take him down. A better coach and more experienced head coach would have handled that spat within the locker room and pissed out the little campfire long before it became a 5 alarm blaze. Shout out to Fahrenheit 451, hey?
Joey didn't put him in a no win spot. Limp Dick Woj was hoping beyond hope that he could play good cop, good cop. How that disaster ever qualified for admittance to Duke is beyond logical explanation, hey?
The Celtics rested several players last night, so Hauser got the preseason start against the Hornets.https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401474869Sam had 9 pts on 3-7 shooting (all from 3), 4R, 2A in 24 mins. He was a -6, and he and the rest of the starters were outplayed by a bad Charlotte team; the Hornets led 35-22 after 1 quarter.I didn't watch the game. Saw a few highlights later, and the only one I saw involving Hauser was him getting beat by Terry Rozier after a switch. Rozier is extremely fast and Sam is, well, Sam.
Sam is paid by the Celtics to shoot 40 percent from 3 and pick up a couple of assists here and there. So pretty much doing his job as defined . Delighted to see him getting minutes . much better than DNP- Coaches Decision
Sam shooting 60 percent pre season games ,Pushing for minutes . https://nesn.com/2022/10/celtics-sam-hauser-reveals-which-nba-players-he-studies/
