AND Boston Celtics They are sold for what would be a record starting of $ 6.1 billion to a group led by a management partner Symphony Technology Group William Chisholm, foreign reports on Thursday.
Sales – If approved NbaThe Governor’s Committee after a thorough check process – would be the richest in American main professional history. This procedure is unlikely to be completed by summer, earliest.
Evaluation of $ 6.1 billion – which would seem minimal, because it’s just an initial number – would break the label when the group led by Josh Harris purchased Nflwith Washington commanders for $ 6.05 billion in 2023.
Boston Basketball Partners LLC announced last summer that he intends to sell most of the Celtics at the end of last or early this year, and then he would sell his shares in 2028. Wyc Grousbeck is expected, whose family runs the ownership group, to remain a Governor of Celtic through the 2027-28 season.
The Grousbeck’s group bought Celtics for $ 360 million in 2002.
“My partners and I have an immense respect for the WYC, the whole Gouusbeck family and their indelible contributions to the Celtics organization in the last 23 years,” Chisholm said in a statement announcing an agreement, whose details were confirmed by agencies representing both parties included in sale. “We look forward to learning from WYC’s partnership with Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla and a talented team and staff to upgrade our success as we work to bring more championship home to Boston.”
The number of $ 6.1 billion would also increase – with a large margin – a recent NBA franchise sale. 2021., Phoenix Suns They were purchased by the owner of Mortgaurna company Mat Ishbia for $ 4 billion, Milwaukee Bucks were sold in Cleveland Browns Owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam for $ 3.5 billion and Mark Cuban agreed to sell most of his Dallas Mavericks‘Ownership is shared by Miriam Adelson and ZET Patrick Dumont, which manages Casino Company Las Vegas Sands, for $ 3.5 billion.
“Bill is a great person and a real fans of the Celtics, born and grew up here in the Boston area,” said Gouushbeck of Chisholm. “His love for the team and the city of Boston, along with his chemistry with the other leadership of the Celtics, makes him a natural choice to be the next governor and controlling the team owner.”
Grousbeck added that Chisholm “asked me to run a team as executive director and governor for the first three years and stay as his partner.”
