Ex-Celtics owner Steve Pagliuca offers heartfelt farewell following team sale
After Boston Basketball Partners LLC announced their decision to sell controlling ownership of the Boston Celtics last summer, then co-owner Steve Pagliuca made a bid to serve as the historic franchise's majority owner. This play was unsuccessful, as Georgetown, Massachusetts native Bill Chisholm is now officially in charge. Pagliuca was gracious in defeat though, putting out an official statement on Tuesday, August 19 that began by congratulating Chisholm and the rest of his investor group and ended with an expression of gratitude for fellow owner Wyc Grousbeck, Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, and other key members of the organization. "Congratulations to Bill Chisholm and the many new and current investors on the closing of the Celtics transaction today," Pagliuca wrote. "It is a fantastic group of leaders, and they will be excellent stewards of the franchise going forward." Pagliuca also detailed what's next for him since he's no longer directly tied to the team outside of a temporary and familial investment interest that'll last for the next three years. "As this chapter closes, I'II now take on a different role — as a superfan who will spend more time with my family, and in the sun at my home in Florida, while cheering for the team from afar," he stated. Although Pagliuca's time with the Celtics is coming to a close, he's not leaving Boston basketball behind. In fact, the 70-year-old has an investment group of his own that's attempting to purchase the WNBA's Connecticut Sun and bring them to Beantown. Whether or not this sale goes through remains to be seen, but no matter what, Pagliuca seems intent on promoting hoops in New England. Listen to "Havlicek Stole the Pod" on: Spotify: iTunes: YouTube:

Blockbuster Trade Idea Sees Celtics Jaylen Brown Land with Pistons
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The NBA offseason has been quite the spectacle. It's been filled with a ton of changes, but arguably no team has changed more this summer than the Boston Celtics. The Celtics endured a ton of changes. For starters, they lost four of their key players this offseason, including Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, Jrue Holiday and most likely Al Horford. These moves were deemed necessary as the Celtics needed to get under the dreaded second apron in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Celtics are finally under that threshold, but there is a possibility that a trade could still be on the radar. Who they could/would trade is another mystery. This massive trade proposal sees the Celtics deal their $285 million star guard, Jaylen Brown, to their Eastern Conference foe, the Detroit Pistons.

More Photo byGrant Hughes of Bleacher Report has the Celtics deal Brown to the Pistons for this massive haul. "Trade Idea: Detroit Pistons acquire Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics for Ron Holland II, Jaden Ivey, Tobias Harris and a 2027 first-round pick (protected 1-4)." "The Celtics get $7.7 million in 2025-26 salary savings—not enough to get them out of the tax this season, but every little bit helps. When Harris' $26.6 million comes off the books after the season, Boston will be free and clear. "Meanwhile, the Pistons add Brown to a core of Cunningham, Thompson and Jalen Duren. That group should be able to better last season's No. 6 seed in the East while moving up Detroit's timeline a bit. With Cunningham already an All-NBA player, the time to add high-end (and high-cost) talent is now." The Celtics get back three solid players in turn in this scenario, plus a first-round pick in the 2027 draft. Brown has been a staple for the Celtics for the past nine seasons. He was one of the main reasons for their title in 2024, bringing home Finals MVP. The 28-year-old has spent his entire career, but he could be getting too expensive for the C's. Brown signed the most lucrative contract in the sport two summers ago, signing a five-year contract worth $304 million. The deal includes a supermax extension and the money he will be owed will only raise throughout the years. This upcoming season, Brown will be owed $53 million. In the final year of the contract, Brown will be owed $64 million. The Celtics love Brown, but with nagging injuries under his belt already, that contract could be one they want no business with down the line. For more NBA news, head over to Newsweek Sports.

Boston Celtics Receive Significant Trade Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Celtics have had a very busy offseason, but not in the way that would make fans happy. The Celtics have actually engaged in a firesale, trading away Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday as well as allowing some key pieces — including Al Horford — to walk via free agency. Boston's salary shedding was expected given how deep the Celtics were into the second apron, and with Jayson Tatum sidelined for all of next season due to a torn Achilles, Boston's decision to blow things up and retool definitely made sense. It's also possible the C's aren't done. More news: Insider Drops Jarring Contract Update for Al Horford, Warriors NBA insider Jake Fischer has revealed that there is still a chance that the Celtics move guard Anfernee Simons, whom the team acquired in the trade that sent Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this offseason. "The Celtics, to my understanding, are going to continue to look for salary-shedding opportunities, and they are going to continue to listen to incoming trade calls for Anfernee Simons," Fischer said. President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens of the Boston Celtics addresses the media during Boston Celtics Media Day at The Auerbach Center on October 2, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Photo bySimons is entering the final year of his contract and is slated to earn $27.7 million during the 2025-26 campaign. "That's not to sit here and say that Anfernee Simons is definitely going to get traded ... but we're still expecting there to be a possibility of Anfernee Simons being traded, as well." Fischer added that the Celtics may wait and see how well Simons plays this coming season and how the team fares in the Eastern Conference before making any decisions. More news: New Boston Celtics Owner Issues Tough Challenge to Joe Mazzulla Simons played in 70 games last season, averaging 19.3 points and 4.8 assists over 32.7 minutes a night on 42.6/36.3/90.2 shooting splits. His efficiency certainly leaves something to be desired, but his ability as a microwave scorer is inherently valuable, and it's important to note that he posted over 20 points per game in back-to-back campaigns in 2022-23 and 2023-24. The 26-year-old's hefty salary for next season makes him a rather difficult trade candidate, so Boston may wish to hold onto him and determine whether or not he can potentially be a part of its long-term future.
