If the NBA’s new media deal weren’t already signed, I’d give a play-in/playoff or Christmas Day game to Netflix a decent chance. However, because of the new media deal being already signed, it would be a breach of contract to take away a Play-In game from Amazon or a playoff game from anyone else…eventually it will probably happen, should Netflix continue its dominance, but it won’t happen until at least 2035-36 if the media deal isn’t rewritten.

Seems weird to me. Aren't there some other games up for grabs like the NBA Cup or whatnot?
Nope — Amazon has NBA Cup knockout stages, NBC gets Tuesday night cup games otherwise, and either espn or NBA tv will get Thursday night cup games
Well, it'll happen soon.
