    For $1 billion I could have two guys with smartphones streaming the game on Twitter at each arena.

    As long as one of the guys is @THE HCP so that the missus is still “available” on road trips, sounds like a plan.

    As long as they also buy back "Roundball Rock" and restore it to its rightful place, I'm OK with this.

    Nope. TNT is owned by Warner that is owned by Discovery. CBS is a separate entity, it is part of the Paramount / Redstone (previously Viacom) conglomerate.

    The other big players are Disney (ESPN, ABC) and NBC (Comcast)

    More likely the sale is coming after the expansion fees check has cleared!

    I don't understand why either of these would make a sale of the Blazers more or less likely. Prospective new owners have known the next TV deal would increase revenue, so that is already built into any financial modeling of a teams worth. A new owner is going to have to pay more for the team if they will get that expansion fee, or can pay less if the prior owner gets to keep that fee.

    So both of these events should net to a wash.

    Paul Allen died 7 years ago and we've seen 0 steps towards a sale. Jody said the team is not for sale. Jody has made statements it can be 20 years or more. It's been reported Jody is working with a team of lawyers to stall the sale longer or indefinitely. A better question would be to know who would control a possible sale of the team once Jody dies?

    I think it makes it easier to justify asking for X when you know what the income stream size is (as the owners get 50% of that and you can understand what portion of that 50% the new owner will get).

    1. Knowing exactly what the TV deal would seem to make it easier on the buyer to purchase as they have a clearer view of what they are getting back.
    2. Jody seems to be still hiding behind the stipulation of 'getting the most for the asset' that is in PAs directives after death. I don't think it will happen immediately but if the payout is around $200 million for doing absolutely nothing, then I can see why she would continue to hold on to the franchise.

    The John Madden clause.

    He did games for all four major networks.

    "Doink!"

    Breaking up that Turner crew is going to be bad news. They are literally the BEST in the business. I watch NO other studio shows anywhere, they are UNWATCHABLE in the fact that all they are trying to do is capture the chemistry the TNT guys have. It’s embarrassing to see them even attempt.

    I like Ernie, Kenny and Chuck. Never liked Shaq with this group, he doesn't add anything and just takes away their time.

    Shaq is a good personality and could be great on another show. I just prefer the original 3.
