ESPN sitting idle while Amazon and NBC are going to crush the building.

At the very minimum ESPN at least needs more commentary talent. Their roster is very thin currently.

Charles still talking like he's a player

But even though Inside the NBA will live on, its biggest star remained unsatisfied with TNT’s communication — or lack thereof. In fact, Barkley said he first learned about his show’s impending move to ESPN airwaves from his new colleagues at the Worldwide Leader.

“I’ll tell you something really sh*tty about it too: I found out that we got traded to ESPN from ESPN,” the 1993 NBA MVP recalled. “I’m sitting at home on a Friday night. I get a text from Scott Van Pelt, Brian Windhorst, Elle Duncan and Bob Myers welcoming me to the family. I’m like, ‘what family? What are you talking about?’

“And then about an hour and a half later, I get a call from TNT like, ‘well the story broke.’ I said, ‘well you probably could have gave us a heads up.’ I said, ‘you traded us to ESPN and we have to hear about it on the internet.’ I said, ‘that’s just not the way you do business.'”
