Boston Celtics Rumors

Well, if you’ve got an extra $4.75 million lying around and are eager to spend it, this industrial-style residence in the Fort Point neighborhood might be the ideal spot to settle down in unique style. Records show the condo was last purchased for $5.5 million in October 2021. Its current owner is Celtics star Jaylen Brown, who was named NBA Finals MVP in June after the team snagged its league-record 18th championship.
Joe Lacob not interested in buying the Celtics
Massachusetts native Joe Lacob, the current majority owner of the Golden State Warriors, is among those with zero interest in purchasing the winningest franchise in NBA history — currently worth $4.7 billion, according to Forbes. Lacob, who grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, led a group of investors to purchase the Warriors for $450 million in 2010 and has since watched the team grow into a dynasty that’s won four championships.
A Seattle group led by billionaire Kraken co-owner David Bonderman — and spearheaded by his daughter, team co-owner Samantha Holloway — is expected to bid for a franchise without local competition as it’s a partner with the city in the only NBA-ready arena Seattle has. Bonderman is a minority owner of the NBA’s Boston Celtics, but is expected to divest that stake after the team last month was put up for sale.

Bobby Manning: Asked Brad Stevens about Jaylen Brown being left off #TeamUSA: “Jaylen’s a great player. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Jaylen could be on any team, any Olympic team in any year. But at the end of the day, his approach, he talked about how he called Derrick, he talked about his own feelings … whether he has success, or he gets all the accolades, like Finals MVP or eastern conference finals MVP, or he feels like he got left off the team. He’s going to be motivated and hungry regardless. That’s what I’ve always loved about him. He always goes back to work.”
Bobby Manning: Brad Stevens says the #Celtics will be mindful of their needs with the 15th roster spot: “Oshae had a terrific year, not only when he got the opportunity on the court, but as a teammate and as a person. In his shoes, there might be the desire to play more too. I always want to be respectful of that. We loved having Oshae. As far as how we fill out the rest of the roster, we kept 14 most of the year last year, then we added two at the end of the year. We’ll see how the next few months play themselves out with regard to people’s availability. Obviously, Kristaps is going to have a long rehab process ahead of him. Then we have to determine what’s the best need for our team in that 15th spot? Both Oshae and Svi, to me, are good NBA players, that whether here or elsewhere are good fits for any team. They’re just terrific people.”

Euroleague champion head coach Ergin Ataman to Celtics: If you are so confident, come and beat us
Ergin Ataman won the EuroLeague and Greek League in his first year with Panathinaikos. As a European champion, he challenged NBA champions Boston Celtics to a game against his side. “After the Boston Celtics became the NBA champions, they tweeted, ‘World Champion Boston.’ The EuroLeague also tweeted, ‘Beat this team first,’ with our photo.”
They see themselves very highly. They want incredible numbers to come and play a game in Europe. You are not the world champion. If you want to get the world champion title, come and beat us, the EuroLeague champion. If you are so confident, I say come and beat us in OAKA,” Ataman said during an interview on Rafine TV.
