Yea, I saw the article that says TNT runs NBA TV/NBA.com and that may be playing a part in negotiations too.

Looks like the nba tv deal bout to be 80B+ if this package goes thru. I know the league/owners are happy as shyt that they put in a clause that says the cap can only go up a maximum of 10% each year. Idk how the NBPPA agreed to that. Im just a causal and dont know the details but it seems like the owners will reap all the financial benefit of this before the players really see immediate impact. Maybe Im wrong though?
From “matching rights” to dumpster diving for scraps lmaooooooo
They could easily carve out 50 national TV games from local markets and the NBA TV games that @CHICAGO noted that air nationally. NBA TV broadcasts like 100 games a year and playoff games in Round 1.
WBD operates NBA TV right now anyway. Its an easy transition for there to be game inventory on TNT.
The question is the postseason. That's where WBD may want to be in the convo for the conference finals. But if they can't, its better than losing out on the league entirely.
None of that would be them "matching" any of the competition.... that would be them settling for whatever the NBA tells them is the left over nonpremium scraps while likely still paying a substantial price and that's the point
They could split it 4 ways if they make it a 12 year deal. If you read the WSJ article closely, it sounds like ESPN, NBC, and Amazon are all splitting the conference finals, not just NBC and Amazon splitting one half. If that’s true, that would guarantee each media partner at least 6 CF over 12 years

Bob Costas wishes NBA broadcast opening monologues were still around
Bob Costas became known for his famous opens calling the NBA for NBC, and wishes ESPN and TNT realized their power for storytelling.

Sucks but its the wave of the future and present
If your a soccer fan you need: Paramount Plus, Peacock, WBD, FuboTV, AppleTV, ESPN+
MLB: Roku, Apple TV, ESPN, TNT/MAX
NFL: Amazon, Netflix, Peacock, ESPN, etc...
If anything the NBA was late to the wave but it was bound to happen eventually
I just listened to Adam's Finals press conference and it seems like he's done with TNT. Other folks feel that way also.

I told you they have matching rights. Whether or not WBD will exercise them or can match the "C" package from Amazon remains to be seen.
