On whether Boston Celtics owners will help keep the CT Sun in New England, with Noa Dalzell

from Havlicek Stole the Pod NBA Basketball Podcast · host Havlicek Stole the Pod

Boston Celtics owners might help keep WNBA basketball in New England -- or they might help push it out of the region for most of the next decade, if not longer. If that is confusing, that's because the whole situation is, and Celtics owners past and present may play a major role in how the sale of the Connecticut Sun will impact the presence of the league in the Northeast. The Sun are for sale, and former Boston minority owner Steve Pagliuca is fronting a group trying to bring the team to Massachusetts. But he didn't submit an expansion application to the WNBA given he was busy with a bid to buy the Celtics, ultimately seeing a competing offer from current majority owner Bill Chisholm win the day. And Chisholm's group may be in the lead for a Boston WNBA franchise, but one likely to take shape many years in the future. How are the Celtics entangled in this sticky situation? Is there a way to keep the Sun from being poached by a team out of the region? Would it be in Boston, the Constitution State, or some other compromise location? And how do we think this saga will play out? The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with SB Nation's Noa Dalzell to talk it all over, as well as the rest of the recent NBA news still trickling out. Check it out!
