Nate Robinson joined the Boston Celtics at the trade deadline last season and didn't really do much until the playoffs. Now he's getting a head start. Robinson re-signed with Boston on a two-year deal reportedly worth $4 million, giving him a chance to learn the system in training camp instead of picking things up on the go. "I think it will be a good start for me to come in and start from scratch," Robinson said in a conference call with reporters on Thursday, about a week after he announced his new deal on Twitter. "I know most of the plays now. I'll be way more comfortable because I know every set." The NBA's only three-time Slam Dunk Contest champion, Robinson had been languishing with the woeful New York Knicks last season when he was traded to Boston in February and because the Celtics needed a backup point guard for their playoff run. Although he had fallen out of the rotation by the end of the season, he re-emerged in the playoffs with a key contribution in the Eastern Conference finals clincher against Orlando.
