Dennis Schroder, Enes Kanter and Sam Hauser have signed with the Celtics this interim.
Dennis Schroder was the Celtics party tent that signed this interim.
The Celtics made it official with a few players on Friday.
Celtics announced on Friday that contracts between goalkeeper Dennis Schroder, Enes Kanter and striker Sam Hauser were official.
Schroder is by far the biggest name for Celtics ’free agent contracts this interim. The defender said Tuesday he signed a one-year, $ 5.9 million deal with Celtics. However, this deal is significantly smaller than the four-year, $ 84 million extension he rejected from the Lakers last season.
Although Schroder’s lone season in LA wasn’t the best (he averaged 15.4 points per game in a 43.7 / 33.5 / 84.8 shot split), he only joins the Celtics two seasons after finishing second in sixth. a man in a year’s vote with the Thunder.
Over the past five seasons, Schroder has accumulated an average of at least 15 points per match in each match, and during the 2017-18 season, he has scored his career highs of 19.4 points at the Hawks.
So with all this in mind, it seems that the Celtics look affordable to Schroder. Brad Stevens, Celtics ’director of basketball operations, is delighted to have Schroder.
“We are really excited to welcome Dennis and his family to Boston,” Stevens said in a statement. “Dennis is a high-level player and competitor who has consistently contributed to winning his game on the field.”
Kanter is the second NBA veterinarian to be signed by the Celtics so far this interim. Nor is this Kanter’s first job in Boston. The center played with the Celtics in the 2019-20 season and averaged 8.1 points and 7.4 boards in about 17 minutes of play.
After this season, Kanter switched from Celtics to Trail Blazers, where he averaged 11.2 points and 11 rebounds per game.
Kanter and Celtics were said to have agreed to a one-year contract worth a minimum number of veterans.
“Enes has a unique ability to both score and rebound,” Stevens said. -In addition to his field bets, he is a great teammate. We are excited that he decided to return to Boston. “
Hauser and Celtics have agreed on a two-way deal, which means he will split time between Celtics and their G-League Maine Celtics this season.
Hauser, who was not a borrowed free agent, is currently playing for the Celtics in the summer league. He averages 9.7 points per match and shoots 40% of the 3-point range over three games, including a 21-point match on Thursday.
The 23-year-old striker joins the Celtics when he scored 16 points per game with Virginia last season. While his lonely season in Virginia (he played for Marquette three years earlier) wasn’t enough to get him into the draft, Hauser likes the place he’s in now.
“Of course I wasn’t invited,” Hauser said. “Then as soon as the draft ended Boston called and they said ‘we offer you two-way’, and I had 10 minutes to decide.”
“They said I had a really good workout,” Hauser added. – They said they weren’t sure if I belonged to their range or not. But I ended up here, so probably a blessing in disguise. So I’m happy with the fit. And I’m glad I’m in Boston. “
The 23-year-old striker may be the only newcomer with the Celtics this season. The Celtics may still sign Yam Madar, whom they selected in the second round of the 2020 NBA reserve, and Juhann Begarin, who they selected in the second round of the 2021 draft, but they are currently up to 15 players with a contract on the active list. Both players also have a contract with European teams, which would probably require Celtics to buy them from their contracts to sign them.
Schroder, Kanter and Hauser are just a few of the additions the Celtics have made this interim. Boston also switched to Al Horford, Josh Richardson, Kriss Dunn and Bruno Fernando.
