Bill Chisholm (new Celtics owner) makes reference to the new owners curse and says Brad Stevens will be driving basketball decisions
September 25, 2025
In Brad we trust. In all seriousness, Bill showed some good signs during the press conference today. Including showing more knowledge that he is definitely a die hard fan.

Good to hear. Brad’s the man
Sounds like you guys are in solid hands. Much different than what we’ve seen from some others. Prudence and self-awareness goes a long way.
What is the “new owners curse”
Ngl bill gets it
Just look at Wyc’s facial expressions.
As it should be. This is the way. So say we all.
I don’t wanna jinx anything but I’m feeling okay about this so far….
I think it’s easy as fans to just say “cut the checks and get out of the way”, but our most recent title was built on decisions made by Wyc. Ainge had a deal with the Nets, but Wyc told him to get more in the deal…and he did. He’s the one that hired Brad. We under performed in the playoffs and Wyc told Brad that he couldn’t bring the same team back. It was in that dismantling we created the title team.
In the end, good owners are part of making good basketball decisions. Mavs just traded Luka away for peanuts because the owner allowed the GM to make the decisions and just cut the checks.
You don’t want the micromanaging, like you get with someone like Ranadive in Sacramento, but it’s vital to have a pulse on what the team needs and ultimately setting the direction the team should take.
Poor Wyc. The best fake owner in history.
That’s all I wanted to hear
wyc wanted to just cry. man i wish he could have stayed owner forever
Bill is a smart man. Leave the bball decisions to the people who know what they’re doing.
