Paul Allen Rumors
John Canzano: Trail Blazers broadcast rights stay with CSN Northwest, source tells me. No details yet, but it MUST have an over the top streaming option.
The team has agreed a four-year contract extension with CSN Northwest to continue its longstanding, if controversial, broadcast partnership. CSN, which originally signed a 10-year deal in 2007, now owns the rights to broadcast Blazers games through the 2020-21 NBA season.
The agreement, which will no doubt rankle Blazers fans with satellite television subscriptions, ends months of negotiations and internal organizational debate about the direction the team should take regarding the future of its game broadcasts. Blazers President Chris McGowan and his executive team spent months exploring a wide range of broadcast possibilities with the goal of finding a provider that would deliver games to the widest possible audience.
Tom Moore: #NBA source: Even with Turner signing, don’t be surprised if Blazers match offer for Crabbe. Luxury tax won’t stop owner Paul Allen.
Mike Richman: Per @Adrian Wojnarowski — Neil Olshey, Terry Stotts, Damian Lillard and Paul Allen meeting with Chandler Parsons right now in LA. Offering 4 year deal, near max.
