Why Timing Definitely Matters With Upcoming Celtics Sale

Boston's ownership group announced intentions to sell Monday

The Boston Celtics are off to one of the more unusual starts to an offseason.

Just days after parading through the city of Boston to celebrate the franchise’s 18th NBA title, Wyc Grousbeck and Boston’s ownership group announced intentions to sell the team Monday.

NESN’s Travis Thomas and George Balekji discussed the timing of the Celtics sale on the most recent episode of “Boston Has Entered The Chat” on Tuesday.

“I don’t really have a problem with it from a business standpoint,” Thomas shared. “I think it’s brilliant from a business standpoint. I really do. The stock of this already historic, valuable franchise will never be higher. You’re coming off a championship. You’re set up to win multiple championships. I get it. (Grousbeck) is cashing out at the perfect time.”
