Brad Stevens doesn’t expect the front office of the Boston Celtics to undergo much change as a group led by Bill Chisholm is expected to take over as majority owners this offseason.
“I never really gave my two cents (throughout the sale process) because that’s not my role,” Stevens said while addressing a small group of reporters at Celtics shootaround in Phoenix. “It’s their right and everything else to sell the team and make the decision they made. My only thing is just asking to be kept in the loop on everything I need to know from the standpoint of making decisions here and now and moving forward.
“As we get to spend more time with Bill – with Wyc and Bill – then we’ll have more clarity on how we are going to do things. But really, every indication is it’s pretty much business as usual, so I’m excited about that. But again, you spend a lot of money on these things, so you have every right to come in and put your stamp on it however you want, so I’m looking forward to working with him.”
Stevens said he first met Chisholm a couple of weeks ago when the finalists of the potential new ownership groups visited.
“Each group had different versions of what they were most interested in,” Stevens said. “And it was really clear how much he loves the Celtics and how much it means to him. And that’s really cool.”
Stevens again met with Chisholm in Sacramento on Monday after the announcement of the sale was made.
