Go Spurs Go!!
I have cable and I only use it for the NBA. I also got a few streaming services, I rarely use. Lmao. So, it would kinda be even more inconvenient getting more networks involved.
I know they are still getting their ducks in a row, but I’m very curious to see how the local television deals are going to work with Bally Sports having its issues.
Im also curious how everything is gonna work with league pass now. They used to black out the ESPN and ABC games on league pass, so you had to watch them on those channels. Is that going to be like this for Amazon also?
I know I’m putting the cart before the horse and should just wait until everything is ironed out. I’m gonna watch the games regardless, just not too excited about the television coverage expansion
Report: Fourth NBA media package 'about as dead as it can be'
According to Puck's John Ourand, the prospective fourth media rights package for the NBA is "about as dead as it can be."

They need to go ahead and do it for tradition. I can't even think of any other programming that TNT has that they'll be content with letting NBA go.
The NBA negotiated in bad faith. That’s kinda the crux of the problem. It doesn’t matter what Turner said months ago.

They can't match NBC. What national network do they have that can do finals games?
Ironically the article below specifies they should go after the NBC deal but they trying to save face and go after Amazon

TNT Sports' boss said they didn't need the NBA — we're about to find out
David Zaslav's 2022 comments stung NBA executives. Now Zaslav faces a choice: Pay up for — and show you do need — the NBA or lose it to NBC.

The NBA negotiated in a way where they didnt want Turner. Thats not in bad faith. The NBA dont owe TNT anything. Its business.
Yall dont gotta worry about Inside the NBA. Charles already in negotiations. Ernie aint as important as yall making it.
Everyone gonna get a bigger bag. They should thank the NBA
If they had the right to match yet they still chose another company; then how is that in good faith?

Because streaming is the future. TNT matched the money but the NBA is arguing that TNT cant grow the sport like Amazon can.
Imagine not having Amazon, Apple, or these other big time streaming companies for the next 11 years. It would be a horrible business move. Soccer is on Apple, NFL is on peacock and Amazon. The NBA not having a parnership with one of them now is dumb, imagine how not being partnered with them 7 years from now would be.
TNT has the least offer. ESPN is still the world leader, CBS allows the NBA to put more of their games on network TV plus peacock, and Amazon is a no brainer.
Their money is limited.
Silver did the right thing to make sure the NBA remains healthy for the next 11 years.
