NBA Insider Shams Charania Will Hit Free Agency Next Month
Shams is the easy No. 2 follow on Twitter — just behind his old boss, AdrianW
ojnarowski — when it comes to breaking NBA news so this is a big effin’ deal
. Marchand lists ESPN, Bleacher Report, NBC Sports, and The Athletic (of cours
e) as potential suitors for Shams’ services:
Shams是NBA記者界的第二把交椅，僅此於師傅Adrian Wojnarowski，下個月合約即將到期
，ESPN, Bleacher Report, NBC Sports, and The Athletic都是他可能的下家。
By the time August hits both NBA Free Agency and Las Vegas Summer League willb
e over, but there is still one major hoops storyline worth monitoring duringth
e dog days… the free agency of Yahoo’s premier NBA Insider, Shams Charania.T
he NY Post’s Andrew Marchand reportsShams’ contract with Yahoo expires next
month.
下個月NBA自由球員市場和夏季聯賽即將結束，但還有一件事值得注意，根據紐約時報的A
ndrew Marchand報導，Yahoo的首席NBA記者Shams Charania合約即將到期，可能會進入自
由市場。
So if Yahoo doesn’t retain Charania, where could he wind up? ESPN could basic
ally end the NBA scoop game by reuniting Wojnarowski and Charania in Bristol.B
esides Wojnarowski, ESPN already has a strong array of NBA reporters, includin
g Ramona Shelburne.
一旦Yahoo留不下Shams，他會去哪呢？如果能加入ESPN聯手Woj，那麼各媒體間的爆料大
戰將徹底失去懸念，畢竟除了Woj，ESPN已經擁有眾多優秀的記者，比如洛杉磯記者Ramon
a Shelburne。
Turner/NBA TV/Bleacher Report could try to make a bigger impact in terms of co
mpeting with ESPN. Charania worked on Turner’s team-centric Final Four teleca
st that included his alma mater, Loyola. The Athletic, the two-plus-year-old s
ubscription site that has raised $20 million, could try to build an NBA vertic
al around Charania the way it has with Ken Rosenthal on baseball.
Turner Sports、NBA TV以及Bleacher Report也將努力爭取，以便與ESPN有一戰之力。Sh
ams曾參與Turner團隊為中心的Final Four節目，另外還有The Athletic，一家兩年多來
已經籌集了20M的訂閱新聞網站，Shams若加入The Athletic，他們有機會圍繞他打造如ML
B的Ken Rosenthal一般的消息網。
Another option, according to sources, is NBC Sports Regional Networks. NBC own
s the rights to about a third of NBA local broadcasts, including the Celtics a
nd Bulls. It is looking for a national insider to appear on its pre- and postg
ame local shows across the country. Besides Charania, NBC has shown interest i
n Yahoo’s Chris Mannix for the job. Mannix already does work for NBC.
Shams的另一個選擇是NBC Sports，他們擁有約1/3NBA球隊的轉播權，包括塞爾提克和公
牛在內。目前NBC Sports需要一名大牌記者參與賽前及賽後的報導，除了Shams以外，Yah
oo體育的Chris Mannix也是他們的潛在目標，後者此前就曾為NBC Sports工作過。

短評或心得：
應該不會加入ESPN和Woj組團吧！？
