The Boston Celtics, one of the most iconic teams in the NBA, might fetch a record-breaking price if they are sold. The current record for the richest price ever paid for an NBA team is held by the Phoenix Suns at $4 billion. However, the Celtics could surpass this mark and even set a new record across all sports.

The Celtics were purchased by Wyc Grousbeck and his investor group for $360 million in 2002, setting a new NBA record at that time. Many people thought it was an overpay back then. Now, more than two decades later, it's very possible that Grousbeck could sell the team for over $5 billion, with some speculating it could even reach north of $6 billion.

The potential sale of the Celtics has sparked great interest in who might be the buyer. The team's press release hinted at a deal possibly being in place already, setting up a multi-step process from 2024 to 2028.

Forbes estimates the value of the Celtics at $4.7 billion, making them the fourth most valuable NBA team. This represents an astonishing increase of 1,205.56% from their purchase price in 2002. Some reports value the Celtics even higher, with Sportico putting them at $5.1 billion.

If the Celtics are sold at a higher price than what Forbes estimates, they could shatter records and become one of the most expensive franchise sales in sports history. This potential sale is not only significant for basketball fans but also for those interested in how much exclusive sports assets like these can command on the market.

In terms of potential buyers and future success on the court, many believe that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are crucial to determining the future success of the Boston Celtics. Their talent and performance will play a significant role in shaping how successful and valuable the team becomes in upcoming years.

With recent victories like their win against Dallas Mavericks in 2024, fans have high hopes that the Celtics could secure more championships in the near future and solidify their position as one of the top teams in NBA history.
