Derrick White, Jayson Tatum extensions, Wyc Grousbeck selling stake in Boston Celtics

The Celtics did the expected on Monday, giving Derrick White and Jayson Tatum the biggest possible extensions each could get. And then they did the unexpected, announcing Wyc Grousbeck was selling his stake in the team. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal break it all down, including why Grousbeck is selling now, why he's sticking around for four more years, and why the transition will be very familiar for Celtics fans.

Business 101, buy low sell high. I admit I didn't see Wyck making the jump to selling the team, but it makes sense.

[@3dpooltile829]

It sounds like the Wyck group cares about the team and are satisfied with just making a shit-ton of money instead of a shit-shit ton of money.

[@KWAPT]

Wyc's always been such a great guy. Have had the pleasure of meeting him a couple times and he's always been gracious, humble and just flat out cool. A lot of these owners have their heads' buried up their butts but not the Wycster. Love how Boston wasted no time in securing JT & White and I've been laughing so hard at Philly fans and their new "Who Can Beat These Three" memes.🤣John Paul George Ringo is just too inconsistent at this stage of his career and oft injured to make me worry one bit about the Sixers. Thanks guys!☘🔒

[@qrsentertainment7215]

I didn't see this coming from Wyck, but He did what he promised he paid for a contender, and they won #18. I'll be forever grateful.

[@SD-zx1uh]

Saw a report today, I think you’re right comes from someone else in his family, didn’t recognize the name

[@Robin-xt7yo]

Happy with Derrick signing the extension! Good guy all around. Had a feeling he'd stick around after those Sam Adams commercials lol. 🍻

[@johnnylee1672]

Thanks for your take John about the Celtics already having a plan in place. I think you're right and it makes me feel much more at ease about future ownership.

[@juliusrickles]

Wyc is smart. He will leave it in good hands.

[@dereksimmons5877]

D White making a cool 86k a day. Good take John on the group buying them out; I think you're right.

[@tm25598]

Happy about DWhite and Tatum. Yes, I was nervous about the selling news. Thanks for your take John.

[@nickice7009]

July 1st 2024! What a sports news day. I agree with your take John. Do you think this current group with Wyc gone will build an arena by the Encore?

[@mctaguer]

He's a different player, but DWhite is our modern day DJ. If Larry were playing, I'll bet DWhite would be his favorite teammate.

[@Robin-xt7yo]

DJ was great. Met him at the Basketball HOF. He was really nice. RIP DJ.

[@mctaguer]

John, Bill Simmons and Wilds spoke about Kawhi being injured and DWhite being his O-Team replacement. Hearing anything?

[@bobqzzi]

I love listening to you fellas. Wish you luck with owning the Cs

[@bigsleep1340]

John, 10/10 t-shirt 🔥

[@THEJAESTER718]

Tom is wildin'!!!! JT is a Celtics legend!! So is JB!!!!

[@THEJAESTER718]

John is absolutely correct about the Core about the Celtics!!!

[@troymackey9588]

If all of us subscribed to the pod put in $196,500 today, we should have just enough to buy the team by 2028 if we invest it in a S&P500 Index fund lol.

[@Robin-xt7yo]

To have a piece of this amazing championship dynasty team would be so cool. 🏆☘️

[@Memo_323]

I got like 75$ on me right now!😎🏆☘️

[@martinalbert29]

We all want a Dynasty. To get that we need to lock the championship core down, which they have done, and pay all the luxury taxes which will get really expensive in 2026. Wyc’s group has done well but doesn’t have super deep pockets, it may be better for him to sell to someone who can afford to keep the run going as long as necessary. Also, I don’t think they post the sale notice unless they have already spoken to some potential groups to take over. This is not a bad situation. We will be fine. ☘️

[@dewysdesigns]

Just so happy to see Tom has a new chair

[@Robin-xt7yo]

😂😂😂

[@gottabedaryl]

Tom West got a new chair!

[@q-j-p]

New contracts = new chairs baby, movin' on up Tom I see ya

[@SamanthaStedman-lk5sn]

Just tried to buy your book from Triumph website and was unable …..

[@boomataco]

Let's go half. And by half I mean. I got 20 bucks just need someone with 5 bil

[@THEJAESTER718]

D.White is a Celtics legend!!!!

[@Ghost-zh5up]

Hauser back baby

[@toddlieb718]

I’d say you gotta keep Holiday and Porzingas also

[@843mane]

Gang starr shirt. W

[@MakeMeAPie]

Money money money...MONEY!!!!

[@bobfather7355]

Would the new TV revenue put the Celtic's below the 2nd apron

[@wyattworld47]

“I having to give rich people any compliments” is about as juvenile as it gets lol

[@mikotagayuna8494]

Wyc: We will be paid in parades...and the next ownership footing the rest of the bill helps.

[@Roobeye]

The expansion fees cant come early enough. Hopefully It can help the tax bill sooner than later

[@Roobeye]

Lol i comment this b4 John mentioned it

[@TimFrith24]

I think Boston Bruins owners Jeremy and Charlie Jacobs and Boston Properties co-founder Mortimer Zuckerman will purchase the Boston Celtics from team majority owner Wyc Grousbeck for $5.12 billion.

[@rollind2456]

Busy busy day lol

[@landonlakes4782]

☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@brianreise2449]

☘️☘️👊

[@s.a.d7882]

Tom definitely Roman Atwood's twin

[@LogjammerDbaggagecling-qr5ds]

If Wyc sells to FSG, I'm going to lose my shit. Worst ownership group in sports.

[@tjmoody8851]

The real loser in all this is John. It's the off season and each of these topics could have been their own pod.
