Warner Bros. Discovery will reportedly attempt to match Amazon's NBA package

According to Puck's John Ourand, Warner Bros. Discovery will reportedly attempt to match Amazon's NBA rights package.

Having previously been the NBA’s ‘B’ partner, it’s unlikely WBD could match NBC’s $2.5 billion ‘B’ package considering that the latter can offer the league a presence on network television that the former can’t. That’s why WBD will reportedly attempt to match Amazon’s $1.8 billion ‘C’ package, with the NBA and Amazon expected to argue that Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service offers far more value to the league than WBD could.

“The crux of WBD’s pitch is that its own Max streaming service, combined with its linear TV channels, should be enough to match Amazon’s streaming ambitions,” writes Ourand. “Max has around 100 million worldwide subscribers. Prime Video, of course, has double that amount, and it’s unlikely that the NBA will make it easy for WBD to use its matching rights”
 
Sheesh. Adam Silver seems to actually be mad about that "we dont need the nba" comments from TNT last year. I thought rumors of him being mad were just rumors but he trying to break WBD.

NBA is done with TNT after the upcoming season. TNT already got deal with college football and basketball, the French open, some races and still is trying to resign AEW. Plus they are cutting costs in some fashion I think
