With Shaq supposedly interested in playing for Boston, I've been wondering: what players became Celtics after having played for the Lakers?

Frank Brickowski.

There were a slew of players that played for the Celtics before playing for the Lakers.

By far the best was Don Nelson who waived by the Lakers and signed by Red

I think the better question is has anybody won championships with both? 

Nobody comes to mind for me, so  if nobody has I'm sure Shaq would love to have that little piece of history/trivia under his name.

Chris Mihm (played with us first)
Brian Shaw (played with us first)

Can't think of anyone else, other than those that have already been mentioned, that played for LAL and then us.

Bill Sharman won 4 championships as a player for the C's and one title as a coach for the Lakers.
