The Boston Celtics need to extend point guard Payton Pritchard

· Yahoo Sports

The Boston Celtics need to extend point guard Payton Pritchard when it becomes possible to do so this October. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, who took some time on a recent episode of their show to take a deep dive into the extension situation when it comes to the former Sixth Man of the Year.

Right now, Pritchard is on one of the best value deals in the NBA, but Boston can't keep him on it forever. What sort of salary do we think the Oregon alum could command as a free agent, and is there a number that makes sense for all involved here?

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about why Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens and company need to lock the Oregon native up on a new extension.
