The Boston Celtics have had a very busy offseason, but not in the way that would make fans happy. The Celtics have actually engaged in a fire sale, trading away Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday as well as allowing some key pieces — including Al Horford — to walk via free agency.

Another returning name is Rob Hale, who was also a minority owner. He is the founder and CEO of Granite Telecommunications. He was complimentary of Chisholm after the sale was announced a few months ago and has been a known Celtics co-owner throughout the sales process.

The sale of the Boston Celtics has been finalized. Private equity mogul Bill Chisholm has taken control of the NBA’s most-decorated franchise from a group led by Wyc Grousbeck that had owned them for more than two decades.
