NBA approves new media deals with Disney (ABC/ESPN), Comcast (NBC), and Amazon for 11 years, $77 billion. Update: NBA REJECTS WBD's (TNT Sports) deal

I hate when people mention the total of the deal. Give us the annual so that we easily can compare with with what’s in place right now.

230m per year per team is what it is. But question is, why 11 years? Seems desperate in times of inflation. 230’ in 11 years might be a 100m in 2024 values for all we know.

But with this size I assume that they’ll buy some swaps to hedge against inflation but it won’t be cheap.

11 years equals stability. And I would imagine that number goes up with the expected addition of Vegas and Seattle (i.e. more games to televise).

There is nothing special about that show that the other networks can't just replicate

Respectfully I disagree others try to emulate what they been doing for 2 decades

Any word on what's happening with league pass?

No just ESPN. No one else has tried.

Roger Goodell already schemin to hold up the networks for a $100 billion deal

Watch

 

[Joe Sixpack]

These streaming games better be 1080p HDR at minimum

We need 4k

I thought TNT was going to buy the Amazon package

They might "match" that package but remains to be seen.

We need 4k

I think we're a couple years away from every game being 4k unfortunately. YTTV still has a lot of channels in 720p

That Jaylen Brown contract is looking like a sweet deal for the Cs

Talking about it's responsiveness/performance

That shyt used to freeze, move slow and crash

Its really crazy how the government lets these large corporations play with monopoly money. None of these companies have this cash liquid and are all in billions of debt.

The little guy loses again watching this unfold. Banks tell you cant get approved for this loan or a house or a car

But

Disney is so far in debt it would take hundreds of years to repay theyll be billions in debt our entire life span

They dont have the money for this at all.

When does the government come in and say to Disney its time to stop borrowing on hopes and dreams

I mean we all know we all dont play on an even
playing field when it comes to acquiring wealth but this is getting out of hand when it comes to these large corporations

I've has no issues like that for quite a while now. The only annoying thing are the previews being loud as fukk like it's an 80s movie.

Honestly, the NBA coming back to network TV is only going to better the overall experience.

Dudes like Banchero didn't even get a nationally televised game until deep into his 2nd season.... being able to put more games on the air can't do anything but help.
