Morey and Cuban roasting us on Twitter atm

Goodness. I have a lot of work to do and tomorrow off. This could suck me down a rabbit hole.

best comment Ive seen so far about the twitter recovery number

"Check his collar ID"

If you have a sixers flair on r/nba your username gets changed to one of the burner accounts.

The date kinda suggests this was sent to cover tracks

Fwiw the last two digits of jerry’s cell are 67.

I still wanna know who IloveKruk was

That guy makes a convincing case, imo, and says "Eric Jr" was the only of the five accounts to not go private last week.

Would be wild if they're both guilty.

Thought it was Ed Wade's son's roommate or something.

Would make de-Colangeloing a lot easier

are you people trying to tell me a 78 year old might be out there tweeting

I still wouldn't rule out the possibility that this came from one or more Colangelo haters and that The Ringer was played, especially given the level of animosity towards him, particularly from Hinkie acolytes. It wouldn't be hard to make sure the fake accounts followed those accounts the real account followed nor to speak in a voice which is similar across accounts.

The two most damning facts suggesting it was Colangelo are: (1) The inside info (e.g., re Okafor); and (2) the 3 accounts being made private on the day The Ringer called the Sixers about the other two.

As for inside info, between info shared as background and leaking, it's not hard to imagine the perpetrator(s) coming into some inside information, especially if he/they had an ally in the Sixers organization or a friendly reporter. As for the 3 accounts being taken private on the day The Ringer called the Sixers about the other two, the perpetrator(s) could have been in close enough contact with The Ringer to know when the call was to made. In fact, it's possible he/they could have put The Ringer up to it by suggesting the plan to call the Sixers about two of the five accounts and then took the other three private once he/they knew the call had been made.

Implausible? Perhaps. But Colangelo risking his career by doing this and simultaneously managing five Twitter accounts isn't terribly plausible either.

On balance it still looks really bad for Colangelo. But I wouldn't rule out the alternatives just yet.

maybe that's what she wants Wade to think

Anderson liked a 'gram calling Collar a fraud

@jfly What's the cost/benefit of The Ringer going in that deep to shit on a GM/try to end his career? If they're doing anything as drastic as working directly with an insider to time accounts being set to private doesn't that tank their reputation?

and fwiw Detrick has written for the NY Times and others. doubt he didn't vet this leak

but I agree it can't be ruled out

I think he is saying the Ringer was being played and not knowing the guy was setting them up.
