I think WBD has them on long term contracts.

Barkley signed an extension through 2032, and since Shaq/Ernie/Kenny were extended at the same time it seems reasonable to assume that they're signed for the next eight years as well

it'd be a very Warner move to give these guys big-money deals and then lose NBA rights so that's what I suspect will happen

update on the Inside the NBA contracts thing

https://awfulannouncing.com/tnt-sports/charles-barkley-leave-lose-nba-rights.html

quote:

“I covered my rear end to be honest with you,” Barkley said. “I just signed a 10-year deal two years ago, but one of the things I did was I put an opt-out in a couple years because I wanted to cover my rear end when it comes to this situation.”

Barkley revealed that he anticipated that TNT could lose its NBA rights over the course of his 10-year deal, although he and his colleagues thought it would be Apple taking their place. With Disney expected to maintain the league’s top package and Amazon having already reportedly agreed to a deal for select regular-season and postseason games, TNT remains in play to remain a part of the next rights deal, but could very well be outbid by NBC as the network attempts to bring the NBA back to its airwaves.

But regardless of what the NBA’s next rights deal looks like, Barkley maintains he has the ability to leave for a competitor if TNT isn’t a part of it. And while he didn’t say so explicitly, it might be a safe bet the same is true for his Inside the NBA co-hosts, as the show’s cast signed their new contract extensions in unison in 2022.

so Koop was probably right about all four guys having opt-outs of some sort

there's growing indications that NBC is going to get the NBA rights, Bill Simmons seems to think that the deal is all but announced
