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.
