NBA reaches $76 Billion Dollar Media Rights Deal

[Killswitch24]

Don’t follow the troll. The vast majority of UK fans have and do support these guys even long after their playing days. I don’t blame the players for having little loyalty these days, that’s the doing of John Calipari, who used the program as an extension of AAU to get them to the NBA. Some of them were taught to consider UK as much as they consider their AAU team, maybe less so. The guy was always a pitiful man to be allowed to coach the college game and he carried a message of selfishness, greed, a lack of eduction, and no loyalty to anyone but himself. Do not blame the players blame their teacher. This is why the NCAA made sure he was not the face of college basketball.

Some of our players will see the love and give back, but not all. And we’ve got the “Coach” / agent we supported too long to blame for it.

How does this relate to the the NBA and NBC deal?

Go woke go broke or something like that.

Same with the NFL. They’ll deny it now but a lot of people who said they’d never watch the NFL again never stopped watching.

Guy above talking about the players getting no respect when they leave here and essentially blaming the fans for the lack of support. That’s not the fault of the players or the fans.

My post was in relation to the idea there is a ton of money in the NBA but the players don’t give back. The money in the headline caused the comments I assume. I didn’t start them but that’s what it seems to be.

Sorry man - I must have skimmed over the posts about former players. I agree with you here.

Now the canned line is I never watch the NBA. This usually comes after speaking on the NBA as if you’re an expert.

You didn’t skim over anything, Morg is a fraud.

I know it's summer, but this message board has become a race between 3-4 people to see who post the most links without comment or discussion. I'm not sure if they are in a contest or win a prize for posting the most links or what.

I miss TNT already. I’m not a big fan of the NBA but TNT is the best version of the NBA.

Sir Charles was the best, too bad he's leaving to.

Assuming an equal split between all 30 teams that is 260 million dollars a year which easily covers the second apron of the salary cap and leaves 70 million to spare. Those teams who go over though will need ticket revenue and merchandise in order to pay the rest of the costs and luxury taxes that are split among the teams not over it.

Thru a quick google search it appears the Lakers make about 99 million a year of ticket revenue. The Mavericks made 67 million last year but had 101 million the year before, but that was about 30% above their yearly average recently. The Knicks were by far the highest at 154 million. The Indiana Pacers for an example of a small market team made only 33 million dollars. We can see why they can’t have such a high payroll but the new competitive balance changes, second apron luxury tax, and trades structure especially with draft picks and salary restrictions will help with this a ton.

TNT with a rack attack !

WBD (TNT) to match Amazon offer for NBA rights

Warner Bros. Discovery on Monday said it will match the $1.8 billion per year offer by Amazon Prime Video to carry NBA games on Turner Sports.

I know a little bit about this actually but if you think Zaslav is going to put an offer to exceed Amazon’s deal i think you’ll be disappointed.

His whole mandate has been to gut the company as much as possible and bring down debt.

Guess I knew a little about what I was talking about TNT matches the offer

Best wishes to Ernie Johnson and hopefully this means Inside the NBA will be back with him at the helm.

Are NBA TV ratings consistently good enough to warrant that kind of money?

Nope, networks are big into giving away money.
