Many veterans have been smitten this way. Before Paul Silas reached Boston, he was the first solid brick in the foundation of the Phoenix Suns, and after Silas departed four years later, he helped Seattle win a World Championship. But in retirement he thinks of himself as a Celtic. Bailey Howell may have been a better player in Detroit and Baltimore, but he is a Celtic.
