>>15351482>In that scenario, why wouldn't you wait for someone else to bid and then match it?Because you would allow another company to make an offer you can't afford to counter since you don't have as much capital on hand.
>Why would you overpay for something?"overpay" shows how little you understand about anything that doesn't involve you checking what someone on Discord tells you or what Meltzer tells you for $14....oh wait you're too poor. You just wait for someone with money to post Meltzer's thoughts. Anyway, the NBA was vital to WB portfolio including building out it's BR sports add on for Max. Not having it means losing subs, revenue and content to build both. It's something someone dimwitted like you would do.
> NBA is just pissed they got less money than they wanted so they are trying to go to Amazon.The NBA made and will make $76 billion from the new rights deal. Which is 3 times what they are making now.
>It's smart.You have the Costanza effect on things. Anything you think is right must be wrong.
>This can go multiple ways.No it can't. WB is suing because the alternative is admitting that they fucked up not prioritizing signing the NBA 3 years ago, and that they have no funds to match the offer. The offer they made is not the same as Amazon as Amazon only wants a streaming deal and WB offered a streaming and TNT (lol) package. That is not the same. They are suing for the same reason you post after threads die. To sadly try to "save face" in no one eyes but your own.
