“Two days after not being able to reach a deal with guard Lester Hudson, the Cavaliers signed guard/forward D.J. Kennedy from the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League for the final four games of the season.” cleveland.com

Lester Hudson left the Cavaliers this week after the expiration of his second 10-day contract because, according to sources close to the situation, Hudson didn’t want to sign a deal with a team option for next season, as Cleveland preferred, unless he was receiving more guaranteed money in 2012-13.

Such contracts are commonplace around the league on late-season signings. Among the recent players to sign such two-year deals — which are offered to give teams an extra trade chip as much as anything because the second year of the contract is not fully guaranteed — are Boston’s Sean Williams; Charlotte’s Jamario Moon; Houston’s Courtney Fortson and Diamon Simpson; and the Cavaliers’ Manny Harris and Donald Sloan.
