Charles Barkley said he would listen to NBA partners ESPN, NBC and Amazon if the remainder of his current 10-year, $210 million contract with TNT Sports is not honored.
The most interesting potential free agent target in the NBA may be a 61-year-old who retired nearly 25 years ago.that he would listen to NBA partners ESPN, NBC and Amazon if the remainder of his current 10-year contract with the cable network is not honored. TNT Sports lost out on the NBA in the league's recently announced new 11-year, $76 billion rights agreement.
Barkley said retirement is still the likely option after TNT's upcoming final season broadcasting the NBA, but said he'd be"stupid" not to listen to offers from other networks. Barkley's comments came on the same day that TNT Sports' parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, filed a lawsuit against the NBA for rejecting its matching bid for a share of the league's media rights."The NBA clearly wanted to break up with us. I don't want to be in a relationship where I have to sue somebody to be in it. That makes zero sense," Barkley told The Athletic.
