I can't see anyone being as bad as Gaston. Knowing that he does own the Garden, I hope to Christ that Jacobs or Henry don't buy the team.

Maybe Wyc's co-owners will buy his majority share?

But one danger is if some group like John Henry and LeBron with the Fenway Sports Group brought the majority interest....

Guess who is also part of Henry's Fenway Sports Group: LEBRON?

The only place you could put a new arena is probably Suffolk Downs. Sadly.

I wouldn't mind if Elon bought the Celts - Wyc's share is chump change to him...

Being in Boston doesn't really matter to me but they need a bigger arena. Not just the Celtics but Boston in general.

Oh I don't care about LeBron. Henry has become very frugal and looks as teams as businesses in his portfolio. Wyc is the best owner in the league. This sucks.

Please not John Henry- his cheapness since the Red Sox last World Series has cost the team all our homegrown stars

They really couldn't have waited for Tatum to sign on the dotted line?

The only local sports ownership group you want buying Wyc's share is Krafty Bob. He's at least a genuine fan
and has the means.
John Henry, group vomit.
Jacob Brothers slightly better than Henry, and they spend up to their version of the Salary Cap.

Exactly!

It’s basically a great way to raise your profile while getting a bunch of good financial losses to off-set some other business gains, while expecting a huge increase in asset value.
