You are saying they don't have matching rights and you're wrong....
I can post videos of people saying they don’t. We can go in circles all day. The deal is done. Get over it.

Who? Skipper? The same video you shared twice Lol. Puck News is more plugged into the current landscape than anyone else... Also, if the deals were "completed weeks ago" then why hasn't pen gone to paper...
Simple answer. Because the NBA is trying to figure out how the matching rights would work if WBD claimed to go after the "C" Amazon Package...
Also, I never said WBD would match. I said they have rights they can exercise if they choose to. They have 5 days after the deals are signed.
Why you are upset over this.... God only knows

It's clear who is upset... I've been right about this entire situation every step of the way. Also, the only opinion I shared was that ESPN's coverage is garbage and that's not going to change. NBC on the other hand I think would do very well with the NBA... Amazon, it's unclear.
You're trying to turn this thread into some weirdo stan shyt when we're talking about corporations
All because you were wrong
What are you talking about? You are the one talking about ass. I gave no opinions until that last tweet about WBD not bidding.It's clear who is upset...

You came at me like I work for WBD. All I said was that your narrative doesn't add up. I don't think WBD will match NBC's offer of $2.5B because it's over $400M more than the price they were haggling over during the exclusive window.
So it seems that the only question is whether they have the right to match Amazon's "C" package which is reported to be $1.8B and there's been questions about whether they would be able to go for that or not.. that's why both sides appear to have their lawyers looking at the language of the contract.
Not sure why you're jumping out the window. Also, why would WBD float the idea of bidding on UFC which will not be cheap at all if they were uninterested in the NBA.. for what... Either way they have to keep up their sports portfolio or risk losing more ad dollars and carriage fee money
No you said i was speaking out my ass when I only voiced my opinion after that last tweet about WBD not matching. That narrative does match up with what Bill Simmons has been saying and yes Skipper among other folks involved in this space. You might not agree with it and that’s ok, I don’t think Charles would be trashing WBD every chance he gets if this deal wasn’t already done. I don’t think Bill Simmons who we all know has contacts in the league office would be this sure. He even said today that WBD might give up the rights now and not even do the last season. I think Adam Silver will announce the new deal at the Finals press conference he does every year before the finals. I could be wrong but I’m not upset at all.
This is exactly what John skipper and that other dude on Pablo's show said would happen....suddenly the messaging is "this is crazy WBD shouldn't pay these prices" as a talking point for the inevitable loss of the NBA at TNT
like to a T
200 million a year ....complete idiocy by Zaslav.
That makes sense
