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记者界的第二把交椅，仅此于师傅Adrian Wojnarowski，下个月合约即将到期
，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.
下个月NBA自由球员市场和夏季联赛即将结束，但还有一件事值得注意，根据纽约时报的A
ndrew Marchand报导，Yahoo的首席NBA记者Shams Charania合约即将到期，可能会进入自
由市场。
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，他会去哪呢？如果能加入ESPN联手Woj，那么各媒体间的爆料大
战将彻底失去悬念，毕竟除了Woj，ESPN已经拥有众多优秀的记者，比如洛杉矶记者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也将努力争取，以便与ESPN有一战之力。Sh
ams曾参与Turner团队为中心的Final Four节目，另外还有The Athletic，一家两年多来
已经筹集了20M的订阅新闻网站，Shams若加入The Athletic，他们有机会围绕他打造如ML
B的Ken Rosenthal一般的消息网。
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的另一个选择是NBC Sports，他们拥有约1/3NBA球队的转播权，包括塞尔提克和公
牛在内。目前NBC Sports需要一名大牌记者参与赛前及赛后的报导，除了Shams以外，Yah
oo体育的Chris Mannix也是他们的潜在目标，后者此前就曾为NBC Sports工作过。
