The wife makes the most sense for Eric Jr. At this point he may just be working on a PR spin.

Yup. I believe the Ringer contacted BC himself, right? If it wasn't him, then he knew who it was because that person took them down shortly after. I imagine he contacted that person.

Not necessarily. As I wrote earlier:

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.

Damn, that's so sinister. I don't know, it feels like too many moves to make just to set up BC.

My wild speculation is that the Sixers are taking their time because they want to see whether they can void his contract.

Can't they figure that out after the fact.

So apparently the EricJr account was tweeting during a BC press conference, according to time stamps on Twitter.

It's looking more and more like it was his wife but I believe he knew about it, and maybe even encouraged it.

That and they must believe that leaving this story out there unresolved for at least a few days isn't going to significantly hinder any important offseason plans.

Is coangelo that accessible to where a reporter can directly talk to him?

If it was the wife everyone ends up looking bad: BC for sharing too much with her, the wife for being horribly indiscreet, the source for assuming all the accounts were BC and The Ringer for buying into the source’s theory.

it's the wife's paramour

who is

The wifes phone number ends in 91 so it is her.

@CrossingBroad: Bryan Colangelo’s wife, Barbara Bottini, has a phone number that ends in 91, just like three of the accounts in question. https://twitter.com/CrossingBroad/statu ... 92/photo/1

@HoopsReference: Americans dont put the dollar sign after the number, but Italians do. Bryans wife is Italian. Case closed https://twitter.com/alvic40117560/statu ... 5161397249

Still need alot more information for anyone else to look particularly "bad" in this scenario, especially the source and The Ringer. Neither the source nor The Ringer has explicitly said "Brian Colangelo used multiple twitter accounts". All they said was that there were a remarkable set of circumstances including private information being shared out from various sources. The only twitter account they said definitively belonged to Colangelo is the one he confirmed.

If at least one of the other twitter accounts belonged to his wife, there better be proof that she did this without his knowledge or consent. Even if that turns out to be true, sharing those details about player health still makes him look bad, and that's even before figuring out whether or not the other three twitter accounts are linked to him or not. Colangelo looks the worst in pretty much any conceivable scenario by a long shot.

what a letdown. I was hoping for a deathmatch or something. Some kind of discipline will happen, but I can't see him losing his job anymore. Public apology paper statement and a lengthy chat with Josh Harris. If there is some minor responsibility to strip away, they'll do that. This is all lame

Think he loses his job but they can't void the contract. He had to know this was going on and didn't stop it.

No way palm. He resigns

I really don’t think the ringer looks bad if it is the wife. They didn’t outright say it was BC, and the wife is pretty damn close, considering there are theories on here about hacking and thurs party people deleting shit
