I still don't think the NBA is going to get a TV deal like that.
Turner Sports has money. As does Disney. But Disney has put in A LOT of money on other sports leagues including getting the NHL back.
Turner right now is paying $1.2 billion per year for the NBA which includes operating NBA TV, NBA.com, the All Star Game, and one of the Conference Finals. Disney is paying $1.4 billion per year for exclusive highlights, the NBA Finals, and the NBA Draft.
Even if they both double their current outlays... where is the NBA gonna get another $3 billion per year from?
They won't.
People keep overlooking the aspect that the reason those amounts are as high as they are currently is because Turner and Disney were essentially competing with themselves during the last round of negotiations. Even the NFL didn't get the exact amount that they were originally looking for as the networks balked at their asking price.
It's going to be the same go around this time with Disney and Turner competing against themselves unless an Amazon comes into the fold and makes a bid. That isn't likely though as they don't have the infrastructure in place to compete with the sports networks right now.
