Brad Stevens and the Celtics front office did their tough work early this offseason by dealing away Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday in cost-cutting moves that slashed Boston’s projected record-breaking luxury tax bill by $210 million for the 2025-26 season.

Chisholm’s group agreed to purchase the Celtics’ majority stake from Wyc Grousbeck for a valuation of $6.1 billion in March, making it the richest sale of a franchise in North American sports history at the time. The sale of the Lakers broke that record in June, with Mark Walter purchasing the team for a valuation of $10 billion.
