    you're naive if you think this is anything other than some sort of promotional deal.

    You're probably right, but I'll be sooooo pissed. Right about now I'm having visions of Michael Redd, Baron Davis, and Mike Miller dancing around in my head.

    If Berman ain't broke the story, it isn't a trade.

    Could be, but if we are talking a pick being involved, they wouldn't announce it at 8 a.m. Need to wait til the pick comes up to make sure the guy they want is available-- assuming, that is, they are making the trade with a specific prospect in mind.

    If it's a players only trade, then it would make sense to announce it at 8 a.m.

    Who knows?

    With today's internet and instant news, there is NO way they would sit on a story until 8am.....

    Mark Berman would have it on tonight's news....

    This is promotional......I guarantee it.

    Chances are, it doesn't even have anything to do with the draft or team itself. It probably has something to do with "giving back to the fans" or something.

    I'm pretty sure it's about who's taking over in the radio booth for Peterson and Foley.

    I highly doubt SR610 knows something about the draft before ESPN did, so I'm willing to bet it's some kind of promotional thing for the draft party or something like that.

    ..........beat to the punch about the announcing team.

    If it was something more Generic like a trade that all Media outlets would be interested in, then 610 wouldn't have the exclusivity angle on the announcement.
