Anyone here plan to stay overnight hoping for some good news about trade?

No, because nothing happens overnight, the GMs go to sleep - so should you.

I will not go to sleep until I get de-rookified!

 

Morey never sleeps, he waits.

 

Morey never rests until he hits it.

 

I slept - felt good, man.

 

Anyone here ask the exact same question every single year?

 

Sleep is important. A dude in China died the other day because he stayed away for like 6 straight days to watch the Euro Cup soccer tourney.... He went home took a shower went to sleep and died.....

..... sleep is important.

 

You gonna stay awake for 35 hours? The draft starts here at 9 am Friday and its Wednesday night 11:30 pm now. So im getting two nights sleep before all the mayhem begins.

 

Shalom!

 

Wow seriously? How do you stay up for 6 straight days lol

 

If I didn't have work I would stay up without a doubt.

 

i use to set my alarm for 2am for a quick check and go back to sleep but thats for tonight.

 

...so many of these larger trade acquisitions are based on the teams involved getting the option of drafting the players they want. That's why you will see nothing major until during the draft because the trading teams see more value in the players then the picks. It just takes one team to do something unexpected to ruin a perfectly good trade proposal that was conditional on player X being their with pick y.

With so many high lotto teams willing to negotiate, I think Houston has a chance to more or less play the draft in a way that suits them. They probably have a decent idea by now of the cost these teams have put on the picks and maybe even a decent idea of who those teams are targeting by where they want to move in the draft. Where it's going to get crazy is when other teams make move's that upset that draft order and unexpectedly change the strategy for expecting players to come off the board similar to when Portland moved in and stole Brandon Roy from Houston one pick before they were going to trade up to get him.

The war rooms are going to be a mess on draft night this year...

 

Nothing like trying to finish an anime series and being on clutchfans to keep you up.

 

Well a couple of nights ago i went to sleep earlier, woke up and went to ESPN.com, and the top article was Rockets aquire 18th pick. So needless to say i havent been getting much sleep since then

 

going to bed man
big trade usually happen during the draft

 

I don't know if I've ever lost sleep over the Rockets. I guess I must not be that big of a fan

 

The point that YOU become aware of something is YOUR reality. The surprise is the same if you become aware in real time or your own shifted time.

I figured that out this playoff season. I could DVR the second half of the late games and watch them at 6:30 the next morning before finding out who won and it was just like real time, just with coffee instead of beer.

 

Most of the time the big deals happen during the draft and one of ESPN's people announces it since Stern likes to pretend like trades don't happen for some reason.

 

HuH? I thought every poster on the board was an insomniac.
