Brandon Bass wanted to remain in Boston. He had found a home, a place where he enjoyed his greatest NBA success. So when free agency arrived, Bass believed he would re-sign with the Celtics.

“I would have never, ever thought I would not be in Boston,” Bass said. “I thought I was going to retire a Celtic, even when it was coming up to me signing with the Lakers. I just thought I’ll still be a Celtic. Boston was my home, man. I had a great experience, family loved the town. I loved the town, really got comfortable there. It feels surreal, but it’s definitely part of the business.”
