Literally every decision he has made since he took over has pissed me off.Make the dude that ran a reality show channel to be your new CEO brehs.
ESPN is airing less games in the new package. No more Friday gamesLike I said the other week, the NBA negotiated in bad faith, especially when it came to Disney and the sweetheart deal they gave them.
Disney allowed the exclusive negotiating window to expire without reaching a deal. They previously paid $2.6B per year. Once that exclusive negotiating window expired and no deal was reached, the price only goes up. It doesn't stay the same. This is free agency. We're receiving conflicting reports that they're paying the same $2.6B to keep the a package.
How? Their broadcast is the WOAT. That alone means an additional $100 million a year for the NBA to air their games on the networks of ESPN/abc.
And they get to keep their exclusive Finals rights. Okay, that's an additional $150 million a year. $100M is for keeping the exclusive rights. $50M is for broadcasting it on your terrible network of ABC which is produced by an even worse ESPN.
That means that $2.8B is the new starting price. The NBA should not have let Disney walk out the door without paying no less than $2.95 billion per year. $3B for the inconvenience.
How the fukk is the B package paying the same rate / $200M more per season for a package with NO Finals coverage?
WBD is falling into obscurityTNT bout to fade into obscurity with reality shows running 24/7
Gutting and tanking such a historic company with GOAT level assets is criminal
Zaslav gotta be the WOAT ceo
Disney was much closer to a deal than WB was when the window expired.Like I said the other week, the NBA negotiated in bad faith, especially when it came to Disney and the sweetheart deal they gave them.

I'm guessing money.
You have to buy the rights to show highlights which is probably not worth it for TNT for one time a week plus NBA probably would not allow them to run against whatever post game show would be on ABC/ESPN/Amazon.
TNT is bout to turn into MTV status. Just playing Ridiculousness all day.WBD is falling into obscurity
If the plan was to start incorporating Draymond into Inside the NBA I'm ready to let it die off
