Ernie has already said he won't leave TNT, and he's older, I'm not sure he wouldn't rather retire at this point then start at a new company with new people, so I kind of think House is right. Also right about Zaslav, but he already is a public enemy with so many of his idiot decisions, he doesn't care. Similar to what Wose said, he's just hanging on cutting costs, setting up few things (like DC, reality show shit on MAX), before WB eventually gets bought by Amazon before 2030 and he gets a parachute of hundreds of millions.

I I hate to tell you though the NBA isn't rigged it's certainly biased towards big teams in big markets in big games for long series there's no back alley deals but the executives keep this regime of refs in power because those back alley conversations don't need to be had they understand hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake Between a 7 game series with the Knicks Rather than the pacers advancing. The lakers have 250 free throw differential and the knicks are number 2 and I'm sure it's just a coincidence those are the 2 biggest markets historically
@Earl_E_Burd2 ай бұрын
Absolutely. $100+ billion organizations don't leave millions of dollars on the table for the purity of 'fate' without trying to influence the odds in their favor. Over the years, through hundreds of professional referees, there are those agents who emerge who understand the assignment and can execute it with precision and deniability - with prudence only in certain games - without the bosses having to explicitly spell it out in a contract. It's not foolproof. Occasionally athletes will still overcome the odds being stacked against them with the pivotal momentum shifts and key players getting in foul trouble, etc. In the end, the sport still needs to appear to have full integrity. That line felt crossed in 2002 WCF Lakers-Kings.
