Really minor news here, but yesterday, the Celtics signed draft pick Lester Hudson and journeyman Mike Sweetney,
Sweetney's deal is confirmed non-guaranteed, which is good, since he has zero chance of making the roster and it's a little curious as to why we invited him to camp. To my knowledge, it hasn't been confirmed that Hudson's deal is non-guaranteed, but the conventional wisdom seems to be that it must be; the Celtics already have 14 players with guaranteed contracts, and if Hudson were the 15th (and final), there would be even less point to inviting Sweetney to camp.
I assume Hudson will make the roster, because he may be the only guy on the team besides Rajon Rondo who can dribble. I further assume, however, to be inactive for the season's first month before heading down to the D-League when that season begins in late November, and that he won't see any floor time with the Cs this year unless something bad happens to Rondo.
Speaking of Hudson, I wonder how often a rookie showed up to training camp with a mohawk while Red Auerbach was still alive.
