Must read article about Wyc and the other owners' willingness to spend

[Fierce1]

Why are we spending 5+ posts on James Posey 16 years later, when Wyc has been extending everyone

Danny is probably more to blame on that one.

Danny was not responsible.
The owners were the ones who refused to go into luxury tax territory.

I remember that time well because I was so pissed at the Celtic owners.

It was also at that time that the ticket prices at the Garden went up.

Right now it appears the owners learned their lesson because like you said, they're extending everyone.

All I'm saying is if they had this same mentality back in 2008, we might be celebrating Banner 19 this year.

I really believe that letting James Posey go cost the Celtics Banner 18.

Ripple effect led to Giddens over DeAndre.

Might not have mattered with KGs injury. But I agree that was an embarrassing ainge move

The funny thing is Monty Burns is making a ton off this Celtics run since he owns the concessions and the building and he's been a historically cheap owner, although they've spent up to the cap that he fought to implement, most years and sometimes exceeded. John Henry, doesn't want to spend on talent and you're seeing the result in real time. We are very lucky to have an owner in Boston like Wyc that doesn't view the Celtics as just another property in his portfolio.

Fans here also remember Paul Gaston.

Talk is cheap.

Wyc, get out your checkbook and give Derrick White the extension he deserves. Hauser too. Along with Tatum's extension, those are moves they can make even if over the second apron, since they have full bird rights on both of those players.

Agreed on JT and White 100%.

Hauser's gonna be an interesting one.

I'm interested to see what Wieskamp and Peterson can bring to the table.
