The Spin
Narrative A
Chisholm, who has roots in Massachusetts and is a lifelong Celtics fan, has vowed to continue the Celtics' historic winning tradition. By keeping Grousbeck around as alternate governor, Chisholm has assured organizational continuity. Chisholm wouldn't have invested a record-breaking sum in the team if he wasn't committed to winning.
Narrative B
While Chisholm has been saying the right things about the Celtics having a bright future, he was relatively unknown before he emerged as a potential buyer of the organization and it remains to be seen how he'll manage the team. Even he admits he has to get the right people around him to make sure the franchise's historic winning ways continue.
