Celtics consider trading Sam Hauser for a veteran big man
Summary

The Boston Celtics are looking to strengthen their roster this offseason by possibly trading Sam Hauser. Analyst Jeff Goodman suggests Hauser could be the key piece to acquire a more substantial center, especially as the team has faced challenges with size in the frontcourt. Hauser, who is 6-foot-7, has been with Boston for five seasons, and with three years remaining on his contract, the Celtics might capitalize on his trade value. The team's pursuit of a veteran big man continues after their failed attempt to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. The Celtics aim to reshape their lineup to better compete for the upcoming season.
