Celtics Mailbag: Mfiondu Kabengele emerging, Sam Hauser impact, Payton Pritchard trade?

The Celtics are running a weekly mailbag during the season. If you have questions about the Celtics or NBA, email [email protected] or tweet @briantrobb.

Mfiondu Kabengele is emerging as a player to watch in the middle. Sam Hauser's shooting and defense are good enough to play in Boston's rotation. Anthony wonders if the Celtics want to keep Udoka until the investigation into his sexual relationship with another employee is over. Paul F. suggests the team should fire Udokas and not bring him back. Paul is a fan of Mfione. He liked him in Summer League. The player was lively and versatile. Payton Pritchard is traded. It's a question for the next mailbag. For now, the Boston Celtics have a replacement for Danilo Gallinari.

Mfiondu Kabengele is emerging and is more likely to land in Maine than in Boston. Samanic has been one of the last players in the game and he has a very low chance of making the roster after Blake Griffin's signing.

Pritchard is only making 2.2 million this year. Most wings that could help Boston make far more than that don't fit into Boston's trade exceptions. If the Celtics want to upgrade on the wing, they will need to use Danilo Gallinari's contract ($6.5 million) as filler and then use Pritchard or draft pick compensation as sweetener in a deal.
