Actually, after Doc's comments about Tony's troubles handling the ball (and somewhat backhanded compliment about his defense), I am starting to wonder if there is more to this trip for Hudson. I wonder if they are sending him down to get him back into the flow of playing regularly, while they give Tony one last chance, and then they will give Hudson a chance to get those minutes running the team off the bench when he returns.
Or on the other hand, perhaps they are trying to bring Walker back, in order to take Tony's minutes?
