	No, I don't think Ainge will keep him. As I said, I think he was 
evaluated at summer league and found lacking, which is why they traded 
for Jones.
	As for his contract, my recollection of those rookie deals was that 
three years was guaranteed and that the fourth AND fifth years were at 
the teams discretion. If we extend him, aren't we stuck for the fifth 
year also?
