It's definitely a lot of franchise turnover in a short span, but also surprising for the Celtics. Grousbeck has been a pretty fantastic owner for the last couple of decades, largely staying out of the way and letting his basketball people do their job while not skimping on salary nor rejecting risk in the roster-building process. And they just won a championship! I suppose the valuation is at an all-time high, but you'd figure he'd wanna stick around to see if this version of the team can defend its title. Whoever buys the team is going to inherit a defending champ right off the bat!
Bruno's sagas in Europe are amazing this past season.
He had a contract at Venezia and left the team to join that team from Israel that plays in NBA preseason just for NBA teams to watch him and offer him a contract. Venezia "froze" his contract and finally sold him to Partizan that plays in Euroleague. Things were going smoothly there for several months (Kings legend PJ Dozier and Kaminski were his teammates btw) but the team not doing so well despite the much money they spent on transfers. In early June, with Partizan playing in the Serbian league finals (or Adriatic league, or both anyway it doesn't matter) he left the team again to go to the states and attend a court that would decide if the custody of his children. He never came back and was called to the Brazil NT for the Olympics qualifiers. Despite having a two year contract with the Serbian side he claims that they owe him salaries (that Partizan claims to be fines for leaving the team all of the sudden) so he should be released to join Maccabi Tel Aviv. So if you thought Sasha's case was a rollercoaster, it was nothing after all.

And that's fine but qualifies him as another punching bag for many Kings fans.
A lot of teams around us had no choice but to make major roster moves this offseason, we need some upgrades but I still think we are more victim of being a good team in a abnormal season and untimely injuries to the same position.
