With the start of the NBA season just weeks away, Turner Broadcasting System Inc. is rolling out a new marketing campaign for its National Basketball Association online and TV properties: NBA.com, NBA TV, and NBA Season Pass.
Since the announcement in January that Turner would take over the management of the NBA’s digital properties, which also include WNBA.com and the Web site for the NBA’s Development League, the NBA has moved 200 jobs to Atlanta, seven of which are on the marketing side.
“We’re excited to build this in Atlanta and to reach out to the Atlanta community,” Storms said.

You mean now I can just walk on over to Techwood Drive to complain about those awful rat/roach commercials and Pancake Puff ads? Man, who knew? That also answered my question of why new commentator Eric Snow's wife stars on "Real Housewives of Atlanta." Hopefully nobody had to move all the way down here from Secaucas just to get laid off months later..
Anybody know, will the NBDL Draft be open to the public? I just wanna be there live to see some dude's granmama in her three-tiered church hat bust out in tears 'cause her baby's headin' to Bakersfield. Maybe even get to heckle Rick Kamla or something...
