Amid the thrill about “Contained in the NBA” and its impending transfer to ESPN, there may be one large challenge that may should be squared away for subsequent season, and it entails the standing of Shaquille O’Neal.
O’Neal isn’t below contract with Warner Bros. Discovery for the following NBA season, according to Jimmy Traina of SI. O’Neal’s contract is completely different from the remainder of the forged, as he’s signed solely for NBA duties, and his deal expires on July 1, 2025.
In response to Traina, O’Neal desires to stay on the present after it’s licensed to ESPN. Nevertheless, he has been “pissed off” by the general public pronouncements that the present will stay unchanged whereas he isn’t truly below contract for subsequent 12 months. O’Neal might have a number of choices if he desires to do different work subsequent 12 months, even perhaps in tandem with an “Contained in the NBA” function.
Different reporting on the transfer has steered that O’Neal is committed to remaining on the show and prone to signal a contract extension. That might be true, however till it truly occurs, there will likely be room for hypothesis.
O’Neal has been a part of “Contained in the NBA” since 2011. It doesn’t matter what occurs with him, the remainder of the crew, together with Charles Barkley, are locked in to proceed their work.
