Kind of a big deal as far as a guaranteed contract goes. So far next year we have 13:

Hayward
Horford
Irving
Tatum
Morris
Brown
Yabusele
Rozier
Ojeleye
Nader
Theis
Williams
Wanamaker

If you are an optimist and think we are re-signing Smart and Baynes, then that puts us at the limit with no option of picking up a vet min player. It also doesn't look promising for Bird.

I think Danny will try to dump Nader so that puts us back at 14 without Bird, but this seems to be a Smart contingent plan. Guys like Baynes and Morris certainly aren't locks for next year's team, but there is a very real roster crunch beginning to happen.

Nader's days in Boston are numbered.

Probably his days in the NBA.

Possibly. Nader has some good offensive skills. It would not surprise me at all if he went to Europe and finds himself there.

Nadar can go. Get a shooter, resign Smart and Baynes.

Maybe, he will find out how to play defense...that is the true knock against him.

Expect Wanamaker to sign for the league minimum. He could get more if Boston uses pat of the Non-taxpayer MLE, but that seems unlikely. That could relegating the Celtics to re-signing Baynes using the 120% bump they can give him using his Non-Bird rights.

Probably means Larkin is not coming back. I liked Larkin. He had an impact when he played during the regular season.
Larkin accomplished what he wanted to here - got back on the radar of NBA teams and probably has an agreement for a deal somewhere.

Now that it's certain, even though I'm sad to see Wanamaker go I'm happy he went to Boston so I can still cheer for him. I believe he will not be a regular rotation guy in NBA unless he becomes a knockdown shooter (he is still streaky), but he can definitely contribute. On the other hand, who would have thought Theis would be this effective? Maybe CBS will unleash Wanamaker's potential.

By the way, for some fun comparison, recent Fenerbahçe exports to the NBA are: Bojan Bogdanovic, Nemanja Bjelica, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Ekpe Udoh. Other than Udoh all have been solid contributors in their teams.

I think I read that he’s due to make $3.8 million overseas. So, if he comes here I’ve got to think he’s sacrificing money.

That $3.8 million is over two seasons, however.  Still likely sacrificing money in the short run, but if he can put in a decent showing for two seasons, he can probably make that income up in the future, even just on minimum-salary deals.
Just because he's in camp doesn't mean he's coming here. But it's a nice little way to pad his resume if he ends up signing in Europe.

Nader has a partial guarantee, so my guess is he's not going anywhere.

He isn’t coming here just for camp. He is coming to take Larkin’s spot as well as insurance for Smart.
