OT Brian Colangelo criticized NBA people on burner twitter accounts!

[Mediocre Man]

Neil isn't the kind of guy who would have an account here in my opinion. I can tell you that KP had an account on S2 and read it every day.

Yep. I miss KP. It was so much easier to get info out of that regime

Use facebook all the time. We have family all over the world and its the best way for us all to stay in touch and share things about the kids, etc. Started using Instagram as a way to show my kids what I was up to on the road while away from them. Now they are at the age where they don't care!!! Love taking pics though, so I'll keep doing it.

Wasn’t trying to imply using social media in and of itself is “bad” I know it has its purposes. I just think that it can be dangerous as well. My wife uses social media to keep in touch with her family that’s all over the place too.

I know there is much positive to the electronic age as for efficiencies (hopefully) and communications.
I use face time to talk with grandkids! thats nice feature for sure.

If I got on face time Id have old girl friends tracking me down. Or the FBI!

He was the one who came up with "Pritchslapped", wasn't he?

On another site, one of the members was a family member of an GM. He would pass along similar info on the team. He definitely could have ran Twitter (if it had been around) like the five accounts Colangelo is accused of running. A lot of smoke on this one though but would like more info.

Conspiracy theory (semi-stolen from Dwight Jaynes):

1. Philly owners want Lebron
2. Philly owners know Lebron loves David Griffin
3. Philly owners know fans are happy with teams progress under Colangelo
4. Philly owners leak detail on Colangelo's twitter accounts
5. Ringer confirms details; story goes public
6. Philly owners have cause to fire Colangelo without fan backlash
7. Opening is now available for David Griffin
8. Philly's chances at signing Lebron increase dramatically

You should really read the one from TheRinger.com

I agree to some extent, but I still kind of believe I’d like to see a little bit more proof just because Twitter is so easy for anyone with half a brain with a desire too, to spoof stuff.
I think the way Embiid responded makes me more likely to believe it. Seems like he Embiid has his issues with Colangelo and was ready to pounce. I’m sure “the internet” will figure it out.

But how would that person that's "spoofing" know to put it on private?..

That's telling to me.

Well I guess, whoever spoofing saw the story come out and decided it would look worse if the accounts were set to private.
Honestly the more I read about it the more I’m inclined to believe it, but I would still like to see more evidence.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Crazy! It's him. The reporter, Ben Detrick, did his homework. I mean to notify Colangelo of the one account, then sit back and see if anything happens with the others was huge in my opinion. If you haven't read the ringer article, it's a must read.

The accounts went private before the story came out...

I saw that. It obviously sounds like it’s him, I doubt he’ll admit it. There are pretty easy ways to track devices and all that to see who the owner was, unless he was using a vpn which that just makes it harder not necessarily impossible. Anyways seems like he’s guilty so hope he keeps his job and we get Embiid! (Not likely!) lol.

Ringer has a podcast up coming from the guy who dug into most of the research (not the source itself) and Chris Ryan of the Ringer who had worked with him. They do a good job of breaking down the whole process from what they did to get us to this point.

Looks like his wife may have been involved. 3 of the Twitter accounts used a phone number that has the same last 2 digits as her's (only 2 are visible when you try to reset your password).

Everything about this story entertains me way to much.

When setting up an account, do you need to put in a legitimate phone number?
Or can you put in a 'fake' number and still be activated to post?

Or colangeo used her number... I highly doubt there were multiple ffamily members involved.
