Bill Chisholm Spoke At Length With Brad Stevens Before Grousbecks Accepted $6.1B BidBill Chisholm Spoke At Length With Brad Stevens Before Grousbecks Accepted $6.1B Bid
Bill Chisholm has a deal in place to purchase the Boston Celtics at a record $6.1 billion valuation. Chisholm spoke extensively with Brad Stevens last week before the Grousbeck family accepted his bid. Chisholm made it clear he has no intention of disrupting the current state of the franchise as perennial title contenders.
“It’s the most incredible feeling to think that maybe I can just play a tiny little part in the future,” Chisholm said, “and now I’ll just let these guys do what they’re doing, let Brad do his thing. If I can help in any way, that’s amazing to think about.”
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had separate conversations with Chisholm and offered their congratulations.
“I was just telling them, ‘However I can help, let me know,” Chisholm said. “I just want to be here to support you guys and I don’t want to take much of your time because you have a real job at hand here tonight, and for the next couple months. So let’s get it done, and if you need any help, let me know.’ “
