On a podcast yesterday he said he thinks they’re waiting until after the playoffs are done to announce it. No more NBA On TNT

NBC is desperate and offering something like $2.5B/year.

I think TNT still has next season. The new TV deal is for the following season.

Getting sold to Comcast is as bad as getting shipped off to Galveston

One of the networks taking on the NBA needs to back the brinks truck up to secure the “inside the nba” crew. If we lose them the nba has nothing.

Honestly TNT doesn’t really need the rights to keep that show humming, as long as they can still get access to the highlights. But I think that’s the biggest thing

Barkley also automatically becomes a free agent if they lose the rights so I have no doubt atleast most of that crew would get pulled to ESPN or nbc in short order

Inside the NBA is going to have Mike Tirico or Maria Taylor hosting it. Absolute shame

That is such wishful thinking. If the NBA leaves TNT, the show is also dead.

Ernie is not leaving TNT and he is the glue to the whole thing, he knows exactly when to transition

Barkley and Shaq will be hot commodities as a team and ESPN has desperately wanted Barkley

Who knows with Kenny Smith

Nobody is tuning into TNT to see Chuck, Shaq, Kenny, and EJ if there are no longer games on.They are there for the pregame, halftime, and postgame show. If there is no game there is no show.

Good news is that this garbage will not interfere with AEW programming anymore. Good riddance.

I don't really care if TNT goes away.

I maybeee might miss Barkley. Maybe. The rest of them are a bunch of clowns.

During the regular season I only watch the Nuggets on Bally Sports and maybe a few games here and there on ESPN (which have terrible hosts anyways and always will).

I never watch sports for the talking heads. Most of them don't know their head from their arse anyways.

I can always come here to this board for shitty (yet amusing) analysis. That's all I need really.
