| #1 Posted on 27.9.02 1228.56 | It appears that Thanks Dad Gaston has sold the Celts, according to a newsflash on CNBC. Hopefully the new ownership group will be willing to spend the money to go over the cap in order to help the team get out of the East.

Just curious because I know the ownership structure is very odd.

| #4 Posted on 28.9.02 0403.46 | Instant Rating: 4.52 | I don't think the Celtics really have to spend too much more money than they currently are to get out of the East. They got to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, after all, and they figure to be just as good, if not better, this year. So I can certainly see them winning the East. In fact, I'm pulling for them to win the East if the Pacers can't do it. (If it comes down to Pacers-Celtics in the East, though, Boston must DIE! LOL)... The Celts winning the East is quite likely. “Yeah, but can they beat the Lakers?” No. “Now put that thing back where it came from or so help me-- Oh, hey!

| #7 Posted on 6.10.02 0425.40 | Instant Rating: 0.00 | I also read somewhere (damn the fact that i cant find the article) that Bird and that Billionaire businessman will become involved in the ownership of the Celtics. That may be a great thing for the organization.
