I believe they are now already under the first apron. $6MM away from getting under the tax line, that's where maybe we can help them?

If they move Hauser for Sochan then a small move like boucher or Walsh gets them right there...

gotta stop acting like these GMs are trying to self sabotage (unless you are talking about the Kings).

Hauser is one of the 2-3 best contracts the celtics have. he's one of the guys they're least likely to move

Ok, they just added a big that can shoot from 3 to do basically what Hauser does, but let's say you're right...where do they find $6M in savings elsewhere to het them under the line?

Speaking of Boston, what do you all think about Xavier Tillman or Luka Garza. Maybe one of them becomes available now that Vucevic is going to Boston. One is a decent defender the other can shoot threes. Spurs might want to take advantage of some other teams moves. Neither guy is worth more then a 2nd rounder, but younger and probably worth more than Biyombo. Just a thought.

Hauser seems like he's quite valuable to the Celtics, no matter where they are cap wise.

they are just above the tax line, but are now below the first apron. they arent going to move Hauser lol. teams looking to clean their books are not going to trade away cost controlled rotation players. they move bloat like KP, Holiday, and now Simons.

Sweet... and I said let's assume youre right.... how do they shed $6M more to get out of the repeater tax? It would almost be malpractice to not get under it when youre this close. How do you think they do it..

i dont think they intend to. the tax is just money. the aprons are where restrictions start to come into play. celtics are still in the middle of their window of contention with tatum/brown, et al. hauser is one of their most important role players and he's locked into a good deal for them. if he was about to expire or was expected to turn down some player option, then yeah by all means move him. but that's not the case. he's in year 1 of a 4 year deal that already looks like a bargain.

also for what its worth, Hauser is playing today (and starting)... doesnt seem like they'd be doing that if they were even considering moving him by thursday

I'm certainly not in a mindset that Hauser is they guy they have to move(especially here) , but I do think they do something to get out of the repeater tax. It just makes sense in a year like this. They need the flexibility that provides if someone gets a major injury after the deadline.
