NBC is trying to steal Turner's slice of the NBA pie

NBC is trying to pull off a late-game steal against Warner Bros. Discovery.
As the NBA negotiates its next media-rights deal, NBC is preparing a $2.5 billion package annually to air games in an attempt to squeeze out Turner Sports, a longtime partner of the league. The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The NBA’s media-rights negotiations are ongoing with Amazon and longtime partner Disney/ESPN is also in the mix.

It seems a little odd that Turner is singled out here rather than just being listed as part of the negotiations. I'm guessing this is a leak by the league to tell TNT to up its offer.

It’s because a deal has already been reportedly reached with Amazon and ESPN. The NBA is likely to only have 1 more partner so that’s going to be a bidding war between NBC and TNT.

The only way as a fan Im ok with NBC taking over is if the whole TNT crew switches to NBC as well like Chuck, EJ and Kenny. The ESPN/ABC broadcasts are god awful.

TNT doesn't have to do this. They can match any offer NBC puts out and the NBA contractually has to go with it.

I’d prefer if I can just get TNT broadcasts, with the nba on nbc theme song.
