Wyc Grousbeck has no interest in selling the Boston Celtics in the near future. The Celtics were sold to a group led by Grousbeck back in 2002 for $360 million.
“No thought of selling the team,” said Grousbeck. “I did this for love and for Celtic pride, not for any price tags. Period.”
The Celtics are entering a period where they will be one of the NBA’s highest spending teams. Grousbeck was asked how the new CBA will impact Boston’s payroll plans.
“I was on the labor committee that worked on the new CBA,” said Grousbeck. “I’ve been on every labor committee since I got in the league. The league doesn’t allow us to comment on the details of the CBA, but having said that, we’re obviously all-in, with the record contract for Jaylen [Brown] and with our payroll this year and in coming years. Eventually, there are basketball penalties for spending, so that will go into the thought process down the road. But at the moment, the best basketball thing we can do is what we’re doing.”
