While not on par with Bird making a comeback, it looks like Eric 
Williams might once again be walking through that door.
He might be 35 with bad knees, but I say, why the hell not? He might 
still be able to keep things organized on the defensive end as a sub 
with short minutes, has been widely touted as a great locker room 
presence, can teach fellow undersized PFs Davis and Powe a few  moves  
in the low post, and he's the original Celtic. I've always liked Eric 
Williams.
