Lester broke his finger in today's summer league game. He broke the finger after attempting to brace himself during a fall in the first half of the Celtics’ 94-82 loss to Oklahoma City’s summer league team. “It’s very tough because I want to show Danny (Ainge) and the coaches what I can do,” said Hudson. [...]

Via Marc Spears of the Globe: Celtics restricted free-agent forward Glen Davis will probably have to continue to be patient before he learns where he will be playing next season. According to an NBA source this morning, Davis is receiving interest from Boston, San Antonio, Detroit and New Orleans. San Antonio and Detroit are pursuing [...]

Whichever team loses out on Rasheed Wallace will set its sights on Glen Davis. At least that's the theory one league source floated to the Herald's Mark Murphy: A league source said the Celtics’ pursuit of Wallace actually may affect the team’s ability to sign its own restricted free agent – not because of the [...]

Via Gary Tanguay: I was told by a source close to the situation that Celtic restricted free agent Glen Davis is wanted by at least four other teams. Those teams are the Pistons, Memphis, New York and San Antonio. I was also told that Joe Dumars wants him bad. It is no wonder considering Baby [...]

The C's have finally met face-to-face with Rasheed Wallace… but they're not the only contenders on the list: Garnett, long a Wallace admirer, has reportedly jumped into the process as a passionate recruiter – clearly stirred by what the seven-foot deep shooter, who is also a capable defender, would bring to the Celtics mix. The [...]

So we've been going nuts today with the Rasheed Wallace/Leon Powe stories… we almost overlooked the fact that Lester Hudson was in town today. He did the whole 'hold up the jersey' thing (he'll wear #26)… he took (and made) a lot of jumpers in a few shooting drills… and he said all the right [...]

I still say that when it comes to pure business… not offering Powe a qualifying offer was the right move.  But man… it's getting really hard to defend anything besides that.  Today… Leon gave his side of the story to the Herald: “Of course I was disappointed, because I want to come back,” Powe said [...]

Scott Souza reports. The Celtics appear willing to let the market value of Glen Davis come down to them rather than drive the Davis market. Those hoping for a quick resolution to the Davis free agent situation – perhaps Big Baby included – might have to be prepared to hunker down for the long run [...]

So says Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. Sources say Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge and assistant director of basketball operations Leo Papile showed up on Rasheed Wallace’s doorstep just after midnight Wednesday to make their recruiting push. “I know he is definitely considering playing for them,” one league source said. The Celtics also have expressed [...]

Scott Souza has the scoop. While the Celtics did retain the right to match any contract offer to Glen Davis through the qualifying offer, Ainge said the injury status of Leon Powe – who had reconstructive left knee surgery after tearing his ACL in the playoff series vs. the Bulls – was a determining factor [...]
