Maybe. Barkley is honest in the sense of being transparent about whatever
he is thinking or feeling at the moment, but is not always accurate in
reporting what he will be thinking or feeling in the next moment. He has
given signs in recent months that he is pissed with WBD management’s
handling of the NBA Rights negotiation, and that he won’t work with anyone
but Ernie and his crew, and like everyone else he can see TNT is losing the
NBA, and he is the kind of guy who wants to be in control of himself, and
just not wait around for TNT to announce it’s over.
I would take an even money bet though that if Amazon offered to license the
show from TNT if Barkley stayed, he would.
