Ricky says 2 pm recording
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

I guess I think this is pretty terrible and he definitely needs to go, and maybe see a psychiatrist, but I don't know how much it will affect FA. Players know this will be worked out, one way or the other, and they will want to play here because it's a great team on the rise. James has seen controversy before. I think C is bad for the franchise and I hate nepotism, so let the door crack him on the head on the way out, but I think things will be fine a month from now, or at least not bad enough to scuttle the Good Ship Sixers..

Things will be fine if they handle it correctly. Fire him, bring in a reputable GM. Unless there was zero involvement from Bryan, which is highly unlikely, fire him or the stink will remain with the team.

I was actually thinking it might be Joe Table, a lawyer type defending Col in the turmoil of the story.

Except I like JT and I can't imagine liking Col.

I'm not him but would happily rep him in this matter, do you think I should reach out on the 91 or 75 number

Unless there's clear and irrefutable evidence he had nothing to do with it he's still stuck with some stank from all of this right? Like who takes this dude seriously between getting fleeced by Ainge and now this?

Also...the correct play from him, which will no doubt infuriate bsg even more, is to continue to categorically deny/refute even if it's conclusively proven to be him. "Trump" it

BIG MAN ON CAMPUS
‏Have a feeling the sixers are pulling a whole Clarence Royce in the wire when he found out about hamsterdam. Trying to spin and get out of it with no stink and will blame on Bryan’s assistant or something. Not sure how that’s possible though.

I can't help but wonder about Bill Simmons' role in the timing of the story. You would think maximum damage to our Lebron chances would have been if this story broke shortly AFTER the finals, giving Harris very little time to react. But I suppose the story itself gets most attention now as the Finals are about to begin. So maybe BS is doing his job as media mogul as opposed to trying to maximize Sixers pain?

I said this up thread, but holding it for a Sixers/Celtics Game 7 may have been on the table, but now would be the time maximize the media coverage. If it happened before Free Agency it may get lost with some other stuff.

Try the *91. Maybe you can trick him into answering the phone

Where did you see that screenshot HEF?

There's a Twitter egg account (SixersEnough) with just six followers as of an hour ago, including Ben Detrick and Ringer exec Chris Ryan.

Only one tweet on 01/31/17 responding to Detrick asking to DM him about an article. Could be #originalmole.

The egg account also only liked two tweets - both by Detrick.

wildest thing about sixers' success is that, in two post-hinkie years, philly has lost every meaningful trade and failed to find a single useful player in the draft (outside of simmons). sam built a fucking pyramid in the jungle

I was astounded by how much Stevens was able to wring out of a paltry four top-5 picks in his rotation!
