~~Hopefully they’re able to still run the show like they normally do.~~

TNT continues to be the home of the NBA this season, along with ESPN. TNT will also continue to produce “Inside the NBA” after it changes networks, per the sources.

Another Edit: It was literally a trade between ESPN and TNT Sport lol

In one of the landmark trades in sports media history, officially announced Monday, Pitaro has brought in Barkley and friends in exchange for 13 Big 12 football games and 15 Big 12 basketball games. No money is being exchanged between the sides, according to sources briefed on the deal. The agreement is for six seasons.

TNT Sports needs the inventory, though the games will not be the top ones from the conference. TNT Sports has not folded since losing the NBA. Besides keeping a relationship with the league that will result in hundreds of millions in profits, it also has first-round College Football Playoff games, with an opportunity to license more from ESPN. It has also added tennis’ French OpenBig East hoops and NASCAR.

We’ll actually get to see the crew during the finals with this deal, crazy to think of. Don’t think it could have worked out any better.
