if the celtics had no long term designs on nader after both portsmouth tournament and summer league ,they would have just offered him the contract and had him sign come to camp and play maybe really well and beat out hunter-which was going to be a difficult task-
so the celts wanted to retain his rights enough to force him to maine and not be waived and picked up after camp-which is a positive for nader
if he is going to be good, he is in a 3 point system,mimicking bostons with boston coaches in daily conversations about players-
also bonding with other draftees sent up jackson,mickey,bentil and hunter
-he has access to trainers and developes under nba guidance-if he sets the world on fire with 3 point shooting or stands out on defence-the first roster space that opens up might be his
barring that he hits sumjmer league again with bonds and familarity and plays great
ainge will also give him an A+ for attitude-
and we can watch him play like i did dwight powell-win win celts -win for nader somebody will be watching over the winter-
