After winning their 18th NBA championship, the Boston Celtics could be facing some serious changes. Jayson Tatum was one of the surprises to learn that owner Wyc Grousbeck was considering selling his stake in the team.
At his JT Elite camp in Las Vegas, Tatum said Sports Illustrated Chris Mannix said he was “shocked” that Grousbeck was planning to sell. He added that he “hopes the foundation and the structure doesn’t change … what we’ve built, what we have, it’s a good thing. I don’t want things to change.”

Tatum and the Celtics were the best team in the NBA all season, then were barely tested in the playoffs before beating the Dallas Mavericks 4-1 in the NBA Finals. It appears most of the players will be back to defend the title next season.
Tatum agreed to a five-year, $314 million contract extension to become the highest-paid player in NBA history. Point guard Derrick White also signed a new four-year, $126 million deal. Tatum, White, Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis all remain under contract through the 2026-27 season.
The new Celtics owner will inherit an incredible situation going forward. Tatum doesn’t want him to change anything.
