Lester Hudson

I dont see the purpose of waiveing Lester Hudson

What did we gain in doing that. I thought we were just making a spot to fill in with a better player.But now that we traded 3 players for 2 we have to spots open. Now Lester Hudson is a great player for the grizzlies. It seems like a waist

Lester since hes been with mephis is averaging a little over 4 pionts in less then 8 mins that would have been nice for the celtics.

Uhhhhhhhh

38% field goal percentage. That’s disgustingly low. No thanks.

Memphis has played him a total of 30 minutes in the whole month of February…..wonder why…….

probably because Memphis has 5 pgs and about 7 young "prospects"

Boston has 2 PGs… and until recently just had 1 legitimate PG

and for young prospects we now have… Rondo, if you can call him that.

I’m not obsessed with the loss of Lester, but the guy filled two needs on this team and played hungry.

Playing hungry and playing smart are not the same thing.

There are a lot of guys who are eager, doesn’t mean they contribute much more than enthusiasm.

Rondooooooo

Ray Allen’s FG% was 34% for like 2 months… Not an accurate way to gauge a player in such a short amount of time.

He's gone.

So is Posey.
So is Powe.
So is Walker and Giddens.
So is Eddie (even though I have a soft spot for Eddie Money)

We have the team we have. Its time to move on.

Rondooooooo

Don't compare dropping Lester Hudson to dropping anybody else you listed

Hudson had no value to this team whatsoever.

by Push on Feb 24, 2010 4:09 AM EST up reply actions

True

But why not develop Hudson into what u want from Nate Robinson, and then Keep House?

just dumb all the way around imo

by lennz on Feb 24, 2010 8:17 AM EST up reply actions

Because Hudson couldn't provide

What Robinson or House can.

by Tai on Feb 24, 2010 10:19 AM EST up reply actions

yes they are

think of those guys just as a small ball bench rotation tho:
Hudson
Eddie
Walker
Posey
Powe

entertaining to say the least

Neither did Chauncey Billups when we let him go.

I agree we should have held on to him a bit longer to give him a solid look. What would have been the harm since we have the extra roster spot. He is going to stick somewhere he ’s a tough kid.

he was going to make what $400,000 this year

double it with luxury tax
they let him go the day before his contract was going to be guaranteed
they knew he was not in their immediate plans and this was a salary dump, like Ratliff to the cats for a conditional second rounder to San An, salary dump

Window

Our window for winning another title is closing very fast. Hudson was an off-guard, trying to learn how to be a point. We had Walker and Giddens also in the training hopper. At certain spots, like backup point, we need players who can contribute now. Not 3 years from now. Obviously DA & Doc did not see Hudson emerging as the next Rhondo.
