Wyc Grousbeck Talks Heat, Potential Trades on WEEI

Celtics majority owner Wyc Grousbeck took some questions on WEEI’s Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning which covered the variety of topics. You can check out the full interview from the link above, but he hit on a number of notable topics summarized here:

On The Heat: “I am watching this year because I want Miami to lose so badly,” he said, adding “I’m rooting hard against the Heat.” Grousbeck did give the Heat credit. “I thought they outplayed us in the series,” he said. “They had more juice. They had more pop. I can’t really deny that. I would have loved to take that Monday night game in Boston and make it 2-2 and see what happened. I think we might have won the thing. But I don’t really regret with like a huge missed chance. I’m just annoyed we didn’t beat them.”

On Perk: “He had already rejected our maximum offer to him, so he was gone,” Grousbeck said. “At this point now, we have the rights to Jeff Green that we will pick up and extend, and we have a first-round pick from the Clippers in a year or two, hopefully. So, we’ve got some assets that we wouldn’t have had.”

On Re-Signing Doc: “He had a good year this year, it wasn’t as wearing on him as last year I think way. Last year he was pretty beat up. This year, he seemed to be excited. We all collectively decided let’s make him this offer. I thought we ought to do it during the week off between New York and Miami — go ahead and get it done so we’re not in this bidding war with the Lakers and everything else at the end of the season. And he said, ‘Yeah, I’m a Celtic. I love it.’ ”

On Potential Future Moves This Offseason: “That could be future draft picks, trade somebody. We’ve got a bunch of guys we could sign and trade.”
