Eagles owner Jeff Lurie emerges as potential Boston Celtics buyer

Back in June, soon after the Celtics won their 18th NBA title, Boston Basketball Partners announced they planned to sell the franchise.

I wonder if there are any Celtics fans in Boston that think Sixers fan should stop complaining about Josh Harris, and what they think about the Eagles owner potentially buying the team.

 

As stated in the article, Lurie is a Boston guy, so it is his hometown team.  I think Lurie tried to buy the Patriots, before Bob Kraft got them.

 

At least Lurie bought the Eagles first, instead of getting a team in Boston and then looking for an NFL team anywhere.

If Lurie buys the Celts, he'll own Josh Harris in two different leagues
