I doubt Hudson gets a contract at this point. 

I'd say it's more likely one of the other guys from the summer league roster gets invited to training camp and makes the roster.

Or maybe none of them do, and we have 2 open spots.

Now that the rumours have been slowing down, maybe it's time to look at our current roster.
Assuming that Baby, Pruitt and Hudson will get a contract, there's only one spot left. Usually, Danny likes to keep this flexibility until the trade deadline, so if we sign a back-up SF the only way we could get someone else is a) by not signing Pruitt or Hudson (Baby's only a question of how much money will it take to match another offer), or b) via sign-and-trade.

 
Rondo
Ray
Paul
KG
Perk

Pruitt (team option)
House
Scal
Big Baby (RFA)
Sheed

Hudson (unsigned draft pick)
T.Allen
J.R. Giddens
Bill Walker


     

If this is the roster we go into camp with I won't be too happy, but it means we did resign baby which makes me less upset. Still if we only sign one free agent I think Danny hasn't done his job this offseason.

TP for you..if this is the roster...boston will not get out of the east...the CURRENT roster they have is not going to get it done

i prefer:
rondo
ray
paul
perk
kg
sheed
eddie
baby
legit wing brought in
one more big brought in
scal
giddens
cheap point
tony allen

-goodbye walker and pruitt....keep tony and scal as trade chips for the season

A title team shouldn't carry more than 3 projects on a 15 man roster. Between Hudson, Pruitt, Giddens, Walker; we should only keep 3.

Heck, Tony could also be thrown into the project pile, considering all his "untapped potential". Seriously his only value is wing insurance and trade fodder later on, when some team has a fire-sale.

To expand: Tony and Scal are insurance (11th, 12th men). If Baby is kept, we still need 1-2 solid rotation players.

excellent post

yep. let's face it, Hudson's not making the team. and realistically one of TA, Giddens and Walker has to go, hopefully via trade.

i think IF tony isnt traded before october...they keep him for a trade chip later..i think giddens or walker make the team...not both

Exactly. We have five non-contributors right now. That number MUST be thinned.

I know it's predictable, but I agree.  We need to consolidate some of the dregs into legitimate players.

exactly.  every team should be developing some talent but the C's have too much deadwood at the moment.  C's need to upgrade from TA and Veal.  Pruitt has to go if he can't prove he deserves the backup PG spot in camp this year-->a player has to crack a rotation by their 3rd year or they're wasting a roster spot.  House is only of value when his shot falls so looking for an upgrade over him isn't unreasonable either.
Moving these 4 players for 1 very good or 2 good players would be ideal. 

Keeping Walker, Giddens and even Hudson for development as long as they're at the end of the roster (D-league or not dressed for the game). 

Hudson (unsigned draft pick)
T.Allen
J.R. Giddens
Bill Walker

Cut or trade two from this group and you've got plenty of room for acquisitions.  I think Hudson is out cos of the broken finger.  Giddens or Walker may be going to the D. League again.
