Any thoughts? This is pretty heavy material they're working with IMO.

I think the primary reason for the deal was the league's difficulty in getting cable providers to carry NBA TV. They probably felt that Turner, a long-time partner with the NBA, would have greater leverage with the cable providers in getting them to carry NBA TV.
