WHY CANT THEY SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
IF WARNER WAS ABLE TO RETAIN THAT
DUE TO THE SETTLEMENT?

JUST PUT THE SHOW
ON A DIGITAL PLATFORM
IF BEING ON TNT IS THE ISSUE.

IT REALLY JUST SOUNDS LIKE
BARKLEY IS UPSET HE'LL
BE WORKING MULTIPLE TIMES
A WEEK NOW.

IF WE'RE BEING HONEST
THEY ONLY SHOW ABOUT
2MIN OF HIGHLIGHTS PER SHOW ANYWAY

Ok...now I am confused. I thought they were just moving to ESPN. They splitting time and the TNT show has no rights? Whats the point? Why wouldn't you get rights back in exchange for letting them go on ESPN? You gonna be competing with actual games...that you cant actually cover? This doesn't sound well planned at all.

Barkley likes to talk clearly imo lol. He says 2 years, but I’m at the I’ll see it to believe it when comes to Barkley sticking around on Inside. He can easily do the show remotely or work less during the season.

They’re only gonna be on ESPN for 1/2 or 1/3 of the time they normally would be on when TNT had a doubleheader every week.

TNT is trying to do a new show to justify the salaries they’re paying on top of the Inside the NBA being licensed to ESPN.

But the new show would be competing with NBA games unless they air it late

THATS JUST BARKLEY TALK...

IT WOULD BE COMPETING
WITH THOSE GAMES POST GAME SHOW.

HE JUST DOESNT WANT TO WORK

Hence the "not well planned part". They just signed those dudes to those huge deals thusly signaling a commitment to the NBA going forwars and then they turned around and let the NBA go pretty much immediately. Now you gotta air some unlicensed BS, covering a sport you didnt want to fukk with anymore. This whole thing is making my head spin.

Barkley's a complete degenerate gambler, he's getting every dollar of that guaranteed $$$

SVP’s wannabe down ass is so overrated. He would have been a C-tier anchor in ESPN’s heyday. He is benefiting off a completely depleted bench at that network. To think he has the cachet to make the goat sports show move to espn2 is beyond laughable. But that network can’t shoot straight so I expect them to do some weird shyt like this and force SAS and/or the Nigerian chick on there with the og crew.

I've tried to watch post game on SVP and while it's not as unwatchable as Malika/Perk/SAS post game crew, it's still a difficult watch.

And if it's true that the TNT crew can't show any highlights, then it's not gonna be the same.

NBA media is so fukking terrible. The one entertaining show they had they're gonna kill.

 

[Silkk]

SVP and his postgame is boring as fucck

 

[Nero Christ]

It seems like Silver wanted the Inside crew out of the NBA completely and if he couldn’t get that, then he settle for limiting their importance and influence as much as possible.
