Lester Hudson signed...or just a celtics.com oversight?

UPDATE #2: As noted by braz: "The roster is now updated. Stephon is gone, Lester is still considered an “Unsigned Draft Pick”, and Daniels is on the list." So apparently it was just a temporary error. Nothing big. Remains to be seen what happens with Hudson.

UPDATE: As observed by NJfan in the comments, Stephon Marbury is also still listed on the roster, and not designated as a free agent with an (FA) next to his name. So unless for some insane reason (though the Vaseline-eating Starbury is involved, so insanity is a given) Ainge has signed both Lester AND Marbury, it's looking more like this may be an oversight. But stay tuned.

As of this morning, on the official team roster on celtics.com, Marquis Daniel is now officially listed, next to his new jersey #7.

But there is also another interesting development on the roster—Lester Hudson is no longer listed as an unsigned draft pick. Previously, two asterisks (**) appeared next to his name, which, as defined further down on the page, would be attributed to an unsigned draft pick. If my memory serves me correctly, those asterisks have been next to Lester's name all offseason. So, therefore, with the asterisks now gone, one would assume that this unsigned draft pick is now signed.

See for yourself: http://www.nba.com/celtics/roster/

So, the question is: is this a simple oversight, and a case of making something out of nothing (as tends to happen in the doldrums of the offseason)? Or has the person in charge of editing the roster on celtics.com unwittingly dropped us a juicy nugget of news?

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

no transaction report for it listed yet

so if it has happened, it just happened.

Give it a while – if no transaction report shows up in a day or so, then it probably hasn’t happened.

Lester Hudson signed

I noted from the link that Stefon Marbury is also on the roster, and not listed as a FA. Could there be another breaking news report as well?

mmmm

well that would make me think its an oversight

When Perk was asked what he thought of Howard winning the gold medal this summer, he responded: "What’s his impression of me after I won a ring?"

good call

In that case it may be that it’s just an oversight. I didn’t initially notice Marbury on that list, as my eye was immediately drawn to the lack of asterisks next to Hudson.

And also, if the roster was 100% correct, there would be three asterisks next to Marbury’s name, and at the bottom under the business about unsigned draft picks it would say “three asterisks = certifiably insane; eats Vaseline.”

UPDATED

The roster is now updated.
Stephon is gone, Lester is still considered an “Unsigned Draft Pick”, and Daniels is on the list.
I’m pretty sure they were just slow on updating the site.

a celtics.com intern is in tears. That was probably the only thing they asked him to get right today too… poor kid. haha

Order Restored

Now that all is as it should be can we at least take some solace that Lester is still there. Really hope he makes it – even if it is an unguaranteed contract.
