I’m #TeamBottini. I don’t think you can schedule reply tweets.
Also, find yourself a woman who looks at you the way Barbara looks at BC’s collars.

Bryan Colangelo Submits Resignation
- Thread starter TFP
- Start date
Two good posts PKB. That Sixers thread had a life of it's own. We saw London Sox resurrected from the dead at least a half dozen times.
No, but if two people took screenshots of those tweets in different time zones, then the fact that the timestamps match up means that they didn't happen at the same time. I don't know where that @rich_hofmann Twitter user got the Eric Jr. tweet from, but that account has been set to private since before the article was published, so it's a reason to remain cautious.
You could setup a technically elaborate system where you get Twitter to notify you, directly on your mobile device, when a tweet to you is posted. If you could get all of that architecture setup, then you could just reply to a message in realtime on a small device no one would think anything of you using.
by "Technically elaborate system" and "architecture", you mean, "check the box under notification settings", right?
I know you're joking, but if my theory is correct, it would actually negate evidence that Colangelo cannot be the tweeter.
For me, but I know where the story begins
It's up to us to choose
Whatever we win or loose
And I choose to win
The likeliest explanation in my mind right now, occam's razor and all, is that Colangelo initially "borrowed" and ended up co-using accounts with his wife. The way the accounts tweeted about specific players is not how a devout Italian sports-mom would talk, nor does it stand to reason that she'd suggest to reporters that they pursue a specific line of inquiry with a player, and should get an interview with the team to do so. Defending his collars is one thing but the basketball part of this is too insider-y.
If my wife tried to start shit online talking about my own line of business (data and fintech), she'd sound like a neophyte if not an idiot. Likewise me talking about her industry (pharma). The most concerning parts of this whole saga, from a players' and agents' perspective, are things that, if they surely came from a Colangelo family member, must have either come from Jerry or Bryan.

From what people say of Hinkie he's almost certainly not involved (sadly) and the accounts have too much post Hinkie involvement knowledge
I'd fire him, but I get they need to cover their bases but he's gone or it's moronic
Yeah the fact the accounts were active and replying to new tweet while colangelo was on stage means it's not just him.
But it's his wife. This seems clear and sixers Twitter is digging up similar stuff by accounts on other places too.
I would be shocked if he didn't know and get involved but even if not he's done
She was leaking inside confidential information and attacking his players, which his opinions of them.
He needs to go asap and I'll be happy.
New GM no more snakes
Understanding the Philadelphia 76ers isn’t like understanding pharma, data, or fin tech. Some of the least intelligent people in the world know tons about sports. Just look around!

I was unaware that the Eric Jr. account is actually still public. So the tweets definitely occurred when Colangelo was speaking to the media. Ignore.
Yeah, there's a lot of assuming going on in Insta's post, and I don't buy most of it. I don't see any of the per-player or Hinkie stuff as unbelievably nuanced for a spouse repeating what they heard over dinner, and pushing reporters to pursue the angles is frankly what I'd assume the entire goal to have been, IF it was her. And it really seems like it's her.
He tried to say it was a plot against him (he's totally a Trumper so that makes sense) a damn conspiracy.
Now it's his wife, and all the info is real.
So he's fucked. No one was out to get him, quite the reverse the person who loves and listens to you thinks THIS is what you want and what you think. And it seems unlikely she was wrong about how pissed at your own players you were.
There is no patching up these relationships if it his thoughts expressed by his wife.
Plus he's not remotely worth fighting for lol

This thread disappoints me. Haven't any of you seen Death Note? It's easy to schedule twitter posts in advance,yo.
Also, pretty much everyone tells their spouse everything. Of course, most spouses keep that information to themselves.

Not delighted that the Brett Brown extension came with colangelo quotes.
The sixers could yet sixer this up

Ha. I’ve heard that Jerry and Bryan have a rough relationship. Won’t be better now!
I need more updates or cruel jokes about this saga. It's such pure awesomeness. *chef's kiss*
BleacherReport: "Bizarre Colangelo Drama" can prevent 76ers from signing Lebron
- The Sixers "don't view Robert Covington as a lock-down defender, especially on the ball"
- The Spurs have been scouting top-10 draft prospects, unusual for a team drafting as late as they are
- Jerry C, who's an advisor to the Sixers, "told B/R he had only spoken to his son briefly about the report: 'I'm anxious to get down to the facts,' he said. 'I think it's totally premature to make comments about anything. Until the facts are on the table, it would be inappropriate for a number of reasons.'"
- Says the burden of proof is on BC, because "many of the tweets highlighted in the story express viewpoints that Colangelo and his deputies have shared with colleagues, reporters in off-the-record conversations (such as frustration regarding the praise Hinkie receives) and colleagues across the NBA".

And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.
Awful article that is behind. Everyone is expecting him to be fired today or tomorrow at this point.
How do you get LeBron after this?
Arguably more easily than before, he can pick his GM.
How do you get Kawhi? If there's a new GM and LeBron I think that would be no major issue.
I have concerns with a LeBron GM but then again colangelo sucks

Agree...I’ve been thinking the same. Would be an excellent hire in its own right with the added benefit of having worked with Lebron.
Yeah this is my thought too, make this debacle into a better odds of adding LeBron and my understanding is Griffin runs in the same circles so may not even need too much front office staff changes.
My concern is what is taking so long, time is of the essence. I understand unvestigation and making sure you're not getting into real legal harm, but seems increasingly clear cut.
They know what happened. They’re taking time because they can’t decide how to handle it.
Which concerns the hell out of me. There's only one answer here and it's not that hard.
You cannot, cannot, let him stay.
Therefore, if it's debating that I'm scared. If it's debating how to do it, the legalities and exit etc I get that but it's tone deaf (at best) while the entire fan base is demanding action and the franchise is a literal laughing stock, even outside basketball. This is so crazy it's mainstream
I’m not buying that this debacle increases the Sixers’ odds of getting LeBron — not because the story itself will make him less inclined to come to Philly (assuming Colangelo is gone in the next week or two), but because the club will be rudderless during the critical period where it needs to make its push to acquire him.
Of course, I’m in the camp that thinks an LBJ signing needs to be accompanied by a Simmons trade, which is a bit of a complicated maneuver. If you think it’s simply a matter of offering LBJ a max contract and renouncing whomever you need to renounce to create the necessary cap space, an interim GM can manage that, and the opportunity for LBJ to have a say in who fills the vacant GM spot can be used as a selling point.
