Wyc Grousbeck is out because the controlling governor of the Boston Celtics in keeping with ESPN’s Shams Charania and Ramona Shelburne.
When he first put the group on the market on July 1st, 2024, Grousbeck stated he hoped to regulate the group via the 2027-28 season even after the sale was accomplished. Within the press launch of the sale in March, the group introduced that Grousbeck would have management via the 2027-28 season.
Chisholm agreed to pay $6.1 billion for the group when the sale was agreed to in March. He’ll now take over full management of the Celtics when the switch is permitted by the NBA’s Board of Governors throughout the subsequent couple of weeks. Per the Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach, Grousbeck will stay with the group as an alternate governor and CEO till 2028.
My two cent:, this isn’t an enormous shock. Chisholm was at all times going to be the ultimate resolution maker no matter who was tabbed because the governor of the group as a result of he’s going to be writing the checks. I’m certain Grousbeck noticed that writing on the wall and determined to simply hand the title of governor over as effectively.
CelticsBlog alum Keith Smith, put it finest:
Thus, this places to mattress the Grousbeck period the place the Celtics received 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 will probably be as profitable because the final one.
