The NBA has filed a motion to have Warner Bros. Discovery’s lawsuit against it dismissed, claiming the conglomerate's proposed rights package didn't match Amazon’s winning $1.8 billion bid in fundamental ways.
According to the league’s motion filed in New York State Supreme Court, Warner’s Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) unit chose not to match NBCUniversal's $2.5 billion bid for largely linear TV rights, “which would enabled TBS to continue distributing games via its TNT linear cable network.”
