Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe just had a pretty good pod segment about the Celtics sale



They covered some stuff on the sale, Bill was a little annoying per usual but here's essentially what they said:

–They don’t think the Celtics get $6 billion because they don’t own TD Garden but they think it’ll be around $5.4

–It’s definitely not a given Pags gets the team because Steve and Wyc’s relationship is not in a great spot apparently which is what the NY Post guy said too, Lowe said he heard Pags is "deep into this" though

–They have doubts about the full truth of the NY Post story and that the Wyc/Irv dynamic true story probably isn't out there yet

–Pags' son is super popular in the organization apparently

–They said a lot of rich people are “circling” the team but until sales books go out, we won’t really know who is serious about buying the team

–Bill thinks it'll be sold fast, like in mid-November

    I just hope we don’t get a Tillman Fertitta situation where a scummy businessman comes in, makes the organisation look bad and then immediately pisses off key personnel.

    We’ve been incredibly fortunate up until this point. It’s hard not to be nervous.

  2. The new owner syndrome is real. Rooting for Pags to keep the team and continuity.

    Anyone but the Fenway Group. Fuck John Henry.

  4. Part of me wonders if it’s not Pags if there’s a chance the Celtics get their own arena
