[Saba Sports News] The Boston Celtics are for sale, but the new owner might be a familiar face.
The Celtics ownership group, Boston Basketball Partners LLC, led by majority owner Wyc Grousbeck, announced that the team is up for sale, potentially by the end of the year. According to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe, there is hope within the organization that minority owner Steve Pagliuca will emerge as the winning bidder.
Pagliuca stated on Monday that he plans to be “a proud participant in the bidding process.” As a managing general partner of the team and a member of the NBA’s Board of Governors, Pagliuca is well-versed in the Celtics organization. If he becomes the controlling owner, it would likely mean that significant changes are not on the horizon.
This news is welcome for many Celtics fans who are eager to avoid a complete overhaul of the ownership group.
