I think this is something some people saw coming even if we didn’t want to acknowledge it with Vinik selling off pieces the past few years.
Looks like Vinik is staying on for at least a few years, so that’s good. I hope the new owner is as good as him, but I’ll be grateful for what he’s done for the team and the city either way.
Besides, can’t be worse than the Yakuza.
Nooooooooo
I like that it keeps Vinik in control for a few more years, but otherwise it’s hard to see how anyone could be a better owner for the team and the area than he was.
Good or bad?
Vinik is about to get PAID.
Good for him. New owner who wants their own cups let’s go!
He bought the team for 170mil, and selling for 2 billion. Crazy smart guy
Honestly, can’t even be upset with it. Vinik bought the team and completely transformed it, he deserves to see a return on his investment and the investments he made into the community.
On the bright side, someone spending $2B on a team is probably going to give a shit about it and it can’t be as bad as the pre-Vinik era
Glad Vinik is staying on for a few years, but we really need to hope and pray the new ownership group is good. Organizations with bad ownership have virtually zero chance of being successful
A billion more than the most recent sale???
Shazbot 😳
I get it. But it still sucks. The golden years are coming to an end.
Anyone got any information on the rumoured purchaser Doug Ostrover? There doesn’t seem to be much other than this one CTInsider article: https://www.ctinsider.com/business/article/douglas-ostrover-ct-forbes-billionaire-blue-owl-19405682.php
