And there it is!
The Boston Celtics finally have a new owner, and it’s this fella Bill Chisholm.
The Celtics don’t even own their own arena!
Usually when you pay that kind of price, you get ownership of everything.
So what do we know about this guy?
Chisholm, a Dartmouth graduate, grew up in Georgetown, Mass., and is a longtime Celtics fan.
Symphony Technology Group is a California-based private equity firm.
Chisholm previously co-founded The Valent Group.
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck is expected to remain governor through the ownership transition.
The Grousbeck family is selling the team for estate and family planning considerations.
OK, so right off the bat there are a few things I suppose I like.
From the sounds of things, this dude has the money.
you’re free to’t be a broke bitch and be given this team.
I’ll call that a win.
From MA and a longtime Celtics fan?
It’s what made Wyc such an awesome owner for so long.
I also saw someone called him a lifelong Celtics fan with an encyclopedia of knowledge about them?
OK, cool I guess?
An owner just like me?
I could in theory get behind that.
I’ll be honest though, the private equity part scares me a little bit.
Do I need to be concerned with that, because I feel like I’ve read that before.
More importantly, let’s revisit my only rules when it came to this new owner
1.
You must accept and bow down to our lord and savior Brad Stevens.
He calls the shots, you do what he wants without questioning it.
You believe in Mazzulla Ball and everything it stands for
