I hope the NBA realizes just how dumb with money Warner is and how much money they will lose on crazy ventures. They better have crossed all their t’s and dotted the i’s perfectly, because Zaslav’s lawyers will be looking for the tiniest fuck up or email that says they didn’t look at TNT’s offer in good faith. I read that part of their reasoning for declining is Amazon has more availability than MAX, I don’t think that’s enough if the clause was about matching money offers. I look forward to the legal battle.

Sidenote: If I’m TNT/TBS I make a play for Baseball, Bally Sports plans to no longer broadcast baseball following this year, The Atlanta Braves were called America’s Team because Turner had them on a TBS for years, their contract is now available to do it again, what’s more Turner than Baseball and Wrestling? Without the NBA I just don’t see them letting AEW go, unless they are selling off the networks.
