18. Someone tell Bill that Tatum is fat

19. He beat my bid by $6.1 billion

20. The current owners made out like bandits Holy shit

21. You know the rich should be taxed when there are billionaires no one has ever heard of who can appear out of thin air and make the biggest sports team purchase ever.

22. It’s kinda wild that someone can be that rich and totally unknown to the general public. Just points to the fact that there are a lot more ultra wealthy than we realize just because a few of them are so public facing

23. Not Bezos and not the Saudis. Good enough for me. Added bonus he’s from Mass and a Celtics fan.

24. They should ask Patrick Dumont on tips on how a new owner can optimize a roster and maximize potential

25. Lol what if jayson Tatum got traded to the lakers for Austin reavers and a 1st

27. Wonder now if Tatum will be traded for Moses Brown and a first next year
