It's believed that it's between TNT and NBC/Peacock for the Third Package.

(The NBA has not ruled out a fourth package, but I get the feeling it'd have to be a huge deal to get a fourth carve out of games)

The situation it reminds me of is the NFL deal, when they signed on with NBC, and told ESPN "There's one package left for Monday Nights. It's not going to be as important as Sunday night, AND you're going to have to pay through your ass to keep it".. but ESPN had to pay it because they couldn't live without football.
