## Resource

Boston Celtics eye a bold draft move as trade rumors heat up—could Sam Hauser and the No. 27 pick be their ticket to a higher selection? John Karalis of Celtics On SI examines the logic behind Boston’s interest in moving up, potential targets like Detroit's No. 21, and the lingering question: does this maneuver signal a play for Giannis Antetokounmpo, or is it simply about refreshing the roster with NBA-ready talent? The show spotlights valuable mid-level exception options, breaking down names like John Collins, Keon Ellis, and Coby White, while tackling the debate over Neemias Queta’s contract future. Karalis explores the financial pathways for retaining a championship core with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, how the next wave of young, affordable role players fits in, and why every roster decision could shape Boston’s title window. Don’t miss the sharp analysis on the Celtics’ offseason strategy.
