By now, we have heard from not only Boston Celtics majority owner and team Governor Wyc Grousbeck on why he and his family plan to sell their majority share of the Celtics. Also, we have heard from minority owner Steve Pagliuca’s interest in becoming the team’s majority owner.
We have also heard from players currently on Boston’s roster like star forward Jayson Tatum on the likely sale of the storied ball club, as well as from several league analysts, reporters, and even the NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. But one person we have heard nary a word from on the sale of the team is Boston President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens.
But the Celtics president recently opened up about the sale news at Las Vegas Summer League, sharing his view on its import. “I learned not long before everybody else did that was going to happen,” Stevens said via CLNS Media.

“I’m obviously very thankful for Wyc and his family and everything they’ve done,” added Stevens of the Grousbecks. “I’m looking forward to seeing what happens from here.”
“I don’t want to get too far into the weeds of it all, but how does it affect us? It doesn’t really right now … we’re just head down doing what we think is best for the now of the Celtics and the future … we’re lucky we have got a good team.”
