Wyc Grousbeck spent money, hired good people and cared about winning. Good owners are rare. It’s going to be a huge loss when he is no longer the owner of the Celtics, which is imminent after he announced his plans to sell.
It’s difficult to get rid of an owner and impossible to get rid of one for just managing the franchise badly. The rest of the fraternity of NBA owners would be plenty happy to prop up someone making bad basketball decisions. It takes some Donald-Sterling-level embarrassment to force and owner out.
