Partnership agreement would be best for everyone. TNT has a ton of talent across their platforms and Amazon seems to be willing to pay for a good staff.

ESPN just seems like they have a high schooler running it. They pay for the broadcast rights but are always letting people go because of "cost cutting." Your days are numbered if you aren't Greenberg, Smith or McAfee.

The restructuring ends Roberts’ oversight of ESPN NBA and WNBA production. Roberts assumed the role three years ago — in the wake of the Rachel Nichols-Maria Taylor disaster — and oversaw a complete overhaul of the network’s NBA production that included new theme music, new graphics, the firings of Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson and a revamped studio show on which ESPN’s morning show personalities were well-represented. ESPN has not named a permanent replacement for Roberts, with Tim Corrigan assuming the role on an interim basis.

The eventual SVP in charge of the NBA and WNBA will also oversee the NHL, college hockey and tennis. He or she will be one of four executives reporting directly to McQuade, along with Mark Gross, Meg Aronowitz and Kate Jackson.
