I've been seeing reporting that the NBA will likely deny WBD's match, although it's unclear as to why they'd be able to (possibly because Amazon's package is streaming-only, where WBD's would air on TNT & Max?). Either way, I'm also seeing that the NBA has eliminated the right to match in future renegotiations.
