What a great interview! Thanks, Jeff—and Celtics Town.

I just love that the guy’s getting so much time playing with so much of the team: the only guy I haven’t heard about coming in yet is Perk.

Anyway, it all sounds good and I don’t think I wanted to hear anything any different. He’s giving credit to all the right guys for all the right things. I also love that he’s doing okay with the NBA-length 3-point shot: it must be both a challenge and candy to a shooter like him.

There’s just something about Hudson that I like a lot. He’s old, he played at a weak school against weak competition, he’s a tweener guard, but somehow I get the sense that he’ll make it in some role or another. I can’t explain it.

Thanks Celtics Town. Good job.

Seems Lester moved to Waltham and is working really hard.
I’ve seen some photos of him and he looks to have an NBA body already . His shoulders, his arms – he’s built like a bulldog!

Hope Danny gives him the spot and not only because I like Lester. I think Rondo needs to be extremely confident to play well. He would excel if the only opposition he had was a rookie PG.

Give Lester a shot!
If not do a Brandon Wallace/Darius Miles on him :)

I know a little bit about Memphis, it’s my home town. I have been all over the world but let me say this South Memphis rough. As a matter of fact it’s one of the roughest places in the USA. Lester played the play grounds of south Memphis as a young kid. The young man had the determination to rise above all that non since an ignorance. Lester has his degree(congratulations Lester) and is determined to play NBA ball. Positive attitude is a big part of being a winner.

Danny is always looking for good inexpensive talent. There will be a spot for Lester because we must develop young talent.

It is from such intangible features that a long shot sometimes surprises. Too many people tie themselves up in “wingspan”, “vertical leap” and who has or hasn’t played point guard since AAU.

My heart says he has a very good chance. My brain tells me don’t kid yourself. Should be settled by end of camp which is right.

I know we (Fans) are looking, at least for a backup PG. Most of the guys that are mentioned are smurfs – 6’ type. Just read on Hoopshype that Antonio Daniels is available. And that was confirmed by their GM Hanh: quote from the Mnn paper is below:

              “He said he would trade Daniels to a team where he can play more — as he did by dealing Richardson to Miami for Blount — if he can get a similar expiring $6.6 million contract in return. Kahn said he believes helping players in that situation if possible is a bit of goodwill that eventually will benefit the franchise with other players down the road.”

Daniels may not be a star but I like the guy. He’s quick, plays good defense and not a smurf at about 6’4" or 6’ 5". He could team with Eddie and not create match up nightmares of having a2 smurfs backcourt.

It also allows our other Daniels to backup PP and possibly Ray which is what he was brought here to do.

I check a trade of Scal and TA works (Realgm Tradechecker 5245245).

It also moves TA which will definitely please many, many fans who are not fond of TA. And his contract expires this year. Seems like a win win situation.

….and shoot’em down hudson.

They are bringing in some real competition for him.

What a red headed white boy sitting on the bench?

It starts on Monday, correct? Can’t wait for this.

And yes, I agree with tyquinton that the Celtics need to develop young talent.

Aside from Hudson’s hood fables and other stories, he basically sounds exactly like JR Bremer.

Shoot first PG, who put up huge numbers at a tiny school against bad comp. He wasnt great but wasnt awful, another hopefully decent 2nd round pg that can play a bit…

We get a very serviceable tall PG to backup Rondo, which frees up House and Daniels to backup Pierce and Allen. Also, we free up a roster spot to give Hudson a shot as our 3rd string PG to develop along with Walker and Giddens. Then, for the last roster spot we pick up another big in as Scal’s replacement. I would rather give up TA and cash considerations for Daniels and keep Scal, but the trade sounds good to me.

Roster:

Rondo/A. Daniels/Hudson
Allen/House/Giddens
Pierce/M. Daniels/Walker
KG/Baby/Williams or Another Big
Perkins/Sheed/Williams

As I read the first interview I thought that it was made up, altough done well? Maybe like the coments from twitter.

I read it like all your articles,that is my only basis!

Smooth. ; )
