Behind the scenes, the information didn’t cease Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley from speaking to NBC and Amazon, based on individuals conversant in the matter. O’Neal’s contract has an out clause that allowed him to go away TNT if Warner Bros. Discovery didn’t retain NBA rights. Smith’s clause was extra open to interpretation, the individuals stated. Barkley’s contract doesn’t have the identical flexibility, stated the individuals, although it hasn’t stopped him from musing about his future. But, rest assured NBA fans, O’Neal and Smith are coming back. Both are on the verge of re-signing with TNT Sports, CNBC has learned. O’Neal will signal a five-year contract. Smith will ink a multiyear deal, as properly. A Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson declined to remark.
