He’s not coming back to TNT for one more year to save anyone’s job - everyone has that job another year regardless.
After that - he’s not keeping anyone’s job because TNT is losing the show. The staff will be moved to other shows or not but Barkley’s participation is irrelevant.
So he’s saying he’s not quitting because he wants to save people’s jobs but that’s just not true.
I’m sure he did give up $100M type offers but saving jobs wasn’t the reason. The reason is he wanted to retire at 60, doesn’t want to have to work so much, and never would’ve taken a $100M job to put in 5 days a week with ESPN in the first place.
When Giannis came in the Bucks were worth $312M and today they’re worth $3.2B.
So Giannis is worth $2.89B.
That’s about the Indiana Pacers.
It would cost the Indiana Pacers to trade for Giannis.
Not the players on the team and all their picks, the entire ownership of the franchise would have to be transferred to the Bucks owner for it to be a reasonable package.
