(Himmelsbach) New: Per source, banks facilitating the sale of the Celtics will begin reaching out to potential buyers this week.
The group will include those who have expressed interest, and others who have been targeted by the advisors as good fits.

Really hoping wyc sells the team to a super rich guy who will be hands off on roster moves
No Saudis and no outright fascistic ghouls please
No such thing as a âgoodâ billionaire but Wyc was about as decent as we could ask for in an ownerâwhoever has the recourses to buy this team will be a piece of shit just by virtue of being able to do so, but I *really* hope itâs not some Adelson/Devos type piece of garbage who wins out.

Anybody have a few billion dollars to lend me? I’ll buy the team.
Things I think people want in an owner:
1. Super rich
2. Willing to spend
3. Let Brad cook approach
4. Not morally compromised
Keep in mind, we might be lucky to get 2-3 of these things, I don’t think it’s possible to get all of these things, and there’s a good chance we get none of these things.
Imagine being so rich that banks contact you to suggest you buy a sports franchise
Notable Excerpts:
>**JP Morgan and BDT & MSD banks, which were retained to facilitate the sale, are scheduled to be in contact with a small group of individuals who could become controlling buyers, the source said. This group will include potential buyers who have expressed interest in the team, and other qualified buyers who have been targeted by the sale facilitators.**
>While these are important steps, **the source said the sale remains in its early stages, and that new prospective buyers could still emerge later in the process. The Jordan Park Trust Company, the Grousbeck familyâs financial advisor, is also expected to be in touch with other financial institutions and potential minority investors.**
>**But the rest of the potential field has remained private, with JP Morgan and BDT & MSD even targeting prospective buyers who have yet to show interest.
In 2023, Forbes valued the Celtics at $4.7 billion. But that was before the team won its 18th NBA title and the leagueâs new $76 billion media rights deal was completed. The final price is likely to be more than $5 billion.**
Hey maybe the hawk tuah girl throws her name in the mix. Maybe moo deng?
Iâll be expecting my call any minute now
/s
Time to sit back and await my phone call
Iâll buy it
âWe have a unique once in a lifetime business opportunity for youâŠâ, but itâs not a scam.
Irv Grousbeck is selling to the highest bidderâŠperiod.
I see everyone talking about Wyc, and him picking the right guy regardless of price, thatâs fan fiction.
Wyc has no control in this.
If he did, heâd keep daddyâs team, but it wasnât up to him then, itâs not up to him now.
I want Bezos so bad
Hmmm I didn’t get a call yet
Owning an nba team would be so sick
Please, any one but the Saudis and Bezos!
Consider me interested.
