#team-relocation

Two weeks ago, news broke that former Boston Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca had agreed to a deal with the Mohegan Tribe to buy the WNBA's Connecticut Sun for $325 million, with plans in place to relocate the team to Boston within two years. While the team's outgoing and incoming ownership groups were happy with the arrangement, the WNBA was not. The league, which released a frosty statement at the time, clearly had another idea in mind to resolve the Sun's situation.
