Wyc Grousbeck is out because the controlling governor of the Boston Celtics based on ESPN’s Shams Charania and Ramona Shelburne.
When he first put the crew on the market on July 1st, 2024, Grousbeck stated he hoped to regulate the crew by way of the 2027-28 season even after the sale was accomplished. Within the press launch of the sale in March, the crew introduced that Grousbeck would have management by way of the 2027-28 season.
Chisholm agreed to pay $6.1 billion for the crew when the sale was agreed to in March. He’ll now take over full management of the Celtics when the switch is accredited by the NBA’s Board of Governors inside the subsequent couple of weeks. Per the Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Grousbeck will stay with the crew as an alternate governor and CEO till 2028.
My two cent:, this isn’t an enormous shock. Chisholm was all the time going to be the ultimate choice maker no matter who was tabbed because the governor of the crew as a result of he’s going to be writing the checks. I’m positive Grousbeck noticed that writing on the wall and determined to simply hand the title of governor over as nicely.
CelticsBlog alum Keith Smith, put it greatest:
Thus, this places to mattress the Grousbeck period the place the Celtics gained two titles, made the Finals 4 instances and solely missed the playoffs twice since 2007. It ushers in a brand new period with new possession that Celtics followers can solely hope shall be as profitable because the final one.
