Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Sources: After rejecting lucrative offer in Europe, Boston second-rounder Abdel Nader has committed to signing D-League contract with Maine.

Nader becomes the 19th player under contract. He’ll come to training camp, make a few nice plays and be sent back to Maine.
I’m no expert in D-League contracts but I believe this deal allows the Celtics to retain his rights for the entire season.
At best, Nader will earn $25K in the D-League. It’s possible he was offered 2 or 3 times that amount to play in Europe.
Chase the dream, kid.
