WYC GROUSBECK RUMORS

Brad Stevens, Danny Ainge, owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca introduced the next Celtics star, number 3 overall NBA Draft pick Jayson Tatum Friday.

Paul Pierce has a recommendation for what the Boston Celtics should do with the pick that he helped them land.In an appearance on ESPN’s “The Jump” on Wednesday, the 10-time All-Star expressed his belief that the Celtics should trade the No. 1 overall pick.“You trade this pick, because he [Markelle Fultz] cannot help the Celtics get over the top,” said Pierce, per Chris...

There has been some talk that the Boston Celtics may look to move the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft for a superstar, but owner Wyc Grousbeck downplayed that notion after the team won the lottery.Grousbeck noted that “it makes a lot of sense” to keep the pick instead of dealing it for an established superstar, citing salary as one reason. The Celtics had apparently floated the pick...

The Boston Celtics are on the verge of clinching the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, but owner Wyc Grousbeck isn’t exactly exuding much confidence.In an appearance on WEEI’s Ordway, Merloni & Fauria on Wednesday, Grousbeck expressed skepticism that his team could compete with the rival Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.“I don’t think we’re as good as Cleveland...

There are no two ways about it; the Boston Celtics got blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. With the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference on the line, the Celtics were outclassed by the defending NBA champions, resulting in a 114-91 Cavaliers rout. Boston had a chance to send a message to Cleveland with the postseason right around the corner, but LeBron James...

The rumor mill was working at full power on NBA trade deadline day, and the asset-rich Boston Celtics were at the center of all the action — until there weren’t. The Celtics were linked to trades for Jimmy Butler or Paul George, but no deals materialized. So they’ll begin their post-All-Star break slate Friday against the Toronto Raptors with the same exact roster that’s...

If the ping pong balls (finally) go the Boston Celtics’ way this season, they could end up with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. But the fact is nobody knows where the C’s first-round draft swap with the Brooklyn Nets will end up until the lottery takes place. That means if they use the pick in a deal before the Feb. 23 trade deadline, they’ll do so without...

The Boston Celtics were engaged in a lot of trade discussions leading up to the NBA Draft, but nothing came of it – apparently because the offers they received were insulting. Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck came away very unimpressed with the offers the team received, which he said is why the team held on to most of their picks, including No. 3 overall. “We did not sniff a...

A report surfaced Friday morning that the Boston Celtics are being “quietly aggressive” as the NBA’s Feb. 18 trade deadline approaches. So is Boston planning on shaking up its team with a big splash? Not quite, according to Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck. Grousbeck appeared on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Felger & Mazz” radio show Friday afternoon and tempered expectations...

First things first, I'm the realest I think the title makes it sound a little worse than it really was.That said, the title is completely accurate. On last night's "Sports Final Overtime" on WBZ, Grousbeck was asked about Rajon Rondo as part of an interview which was meant to preview the upcoming season. While Grousbeck said some positive things -- calling Rondo a great player, a...
