According to Max and Dave of the 7SOL podcast, Devin tweeted "24 hours in a day" yesterday at some point and then deleted it. That has to be about McDonough saying "I just ran out of time dealing with free agency' or something similar, right?
I saw that tweet. Some people thought it was related to the Suns trading for Lillard because Lillard postet a watch in one of his tweets. So no Lillard to Suns... :(
I saw it too. It didn't make sense to me at the time but it does now. :( Come on, McD. Will you ever learn?

I guarantee you McD didn't get his job based on his communication skills (right side of the brain). It was obviously due to his left, analytical side.
Can we get a GM with a full brain please.
:lol: A full brain would be nice, wouldn't it?
I once did a test to determine which side of my brain was predominant. It was inconclusive. So i only have two half brains myself. :lol:
Sounds like you're even keeled to me!
Thank you. It sounds to me, that you are too. ;)

He probably tried to tell Devin over the phone but he couldn't quite get it out in time through all his stuttering and stammering through his sentences.

Guys, I have enough of this constant "McD has screwed it again" thing. He should be fired ASAP. Do you have any preferences for our next GM.

I am waiting to reserve judgment on McDo's offseason until I see what other trades and acquisitions (if any) he makes. I don't love the Ariza signing, atd I would have kept Ulis and Williams. But I don't think any of it is a fireable offense yet. I want them to fix the glut at SF, and I hope they have some kind of better PG in their sights.

Does anyone else think this is being way overblown? McD should have talked to Booker, but Booker also should have known this was coming. We all knew it was coming. I also doubt Booker is that upset, he would have liked to know it was coming, but it'll be forgotten next week when he signs his 150 million dollar extension.

So we are now decrypting a "24 hours in a day" tweet to mean for sure McD ignored Booker because he was too busy signing Ariza?

Is that really where we are going with things?

McD has done plenty of things that we can bitch about without making things up and no Ulis isn't one of them. If you tell Booker before Ulis it causes drama if you tell him after it causes drama.

I prefer to hear about the Knight trade over and over again rather than a podcasts insights into a tweet they decrypted. :)

Come on now. You can give him one. "All wings with no Sauce." Let's pretend it didn't come from Espo. Not even a little funny? :P

You don't like obsessing over every little thing? What is WRONG with you? :P This is such productive use of our limited time on this earth.

No need to stop posting it. It is nice to be able to get all the info here. I just disagree with their take on what it might mean. :)
