What do we need to know about the sale of the Boston Celtics?

What do we need to know about the sale of the Boston Celtics? The Celtics recently announced that the storied ball club's current majority owners, Irv and Wyc Grousbeck, have elected to sell their shares of the team to what will be the group to take their place as majority owners helmed by businessman William Chisholm.
When will the deal be finalized? How will it affect the club's current quest to repeat as champs, and perhaps to found a dynasty beyond the current season? Could pricier players soon be on the move to save some money for the new owners? Will the Celtics stay in TD Garden long-term, or will they look to build their own arena? As you can see, there are a LOT of unanswered questions about the sale.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast, Alex Goldberg, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Justin Quinn, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over with Axios business editor Dan Primack. Check it out below!

Report: Boston Celtics seeking first round pick, reduced cap hit in Jrue Holiday trade

Report: Boston Celtics seeking first round pick, reduced cap hit in Jrue Holiday trade The Boston Celtics are widely seen as a team likely to make substantive moves this offseason to get ahead of an unprecedented payroll and tax bill set to hand Boston more money in luxury tax penalties than actual salary. And while there have been but sparse rumbles to that end since the Celtics' season ended at the hands of the New York Knicks in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals, things seem to be heating up on the trade rumor front. Fresh on the heels of a report from the Stein Line's Marc Stein that Boston has been fielding calls regarding veteran guard Jrue Holiday, Hardwood Paroxysm's Matt Moore relates that the Celtics are not just looking for "whatever reduced salary comes back in the deal," but also a first round draft pick. This appears to fly in the face of some reports making the rounds earlier in Boston's offseason that the Celtics might need to attach draft capital to get off of Holiday's substantial remaining salary, but with teams often negotiating through the media at this point in the league calendar, the truth is likely somewhere in the middle. Holiday still has considerable value as one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and while his offensive game has slipped a bit with age, he can still deliver a punch on that end of the court when his number is called. The UCLA alum is owed $32.4 million next season, $34.8 million in 2026-27, and has a team option for $37.2 million in 2027-28, a substantial financial commitment even considering what Holiday brings as a player in this cap environment. We have heard reporting tying the Boston guard to the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks in recent weeks, and that field might expand further pending what other moves are made (or closed off) as we get closer to the 2025 NBA draft on June 25.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Gordon Hayward (2017-20)

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 - Gordon Hayward (2017-20) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the 28th of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston forward alum Gordon Hayward. After ending his college career at Butler, Hayward was picked up with the ninth overall selection of the 2010 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz. The Indianapolis, Indiana native would play the first seven seasons of his pro career with Utah, coming to an end when he signed with Boston in 2017. His stay with the team would span three seasons, ending when he signed with the Charlotte Hornets in 2020. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Hayward wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play?

Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Boston Celtics play after their early exit from the 2025 NBA Playoffs? The Celtics were sent fishing by the New York Knicks in their Eastern Conference Semifinals second round series with their Atlantic Division rival, and Boston's over-reliance on shots from beyond the arc were arguably a significant factor in what went wrong for the Celtics. To be sure, injuries to Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, and other key players compounded the matter. But at least some of the blame should fall on a version of Mazzulla ball that was not as complete as it was when the Celtics won the title in 2024. Advertisement The folks behind the "98.5 The Sports Hub" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Felger and Mazz" show that takes a closer look at such a possibility. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say! This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Will head coach Joe Mazzulla change the way the Celtics play?
