How fricking awkward and hilarious is this gonna be if it’s actually his wife sending all that on her own. Bryan is in quite the pickle. Prob should have worn normal sized collars

There is no way in hell she was doing it on her own w/o him knowing. At best he knew about it and more than likely he just had her make it so he could tweet more shite.

The only thing I can't get is, is Bryan Colangelo's wife that well versed in the ongoings of the 76ers? I mean I understand he probably comes home and blows steam off like every other human and whatnot but some of that stuff just seems way too in depth for a random spousal conversation.

I would be willing to bet that they both used the accounts. He obviously knew that she had the accounts, as the accounts turned to private right after he was asked about them. So, either he went in and changed them to private, or he called his wife immediately and told her to change them. I'd bet he had access to the accounts and used them, too.

Looks like Colangelo has some burner accounts on here downvoting

I wonder if they are trying to slow play this story now and hope it cools off and they can just come back in a month and say oh yeah we found the person and have reprimanded Bryan (or fired him) to save face for Silver. They absolutely know who it is already. League might be telling them to anyways to not take away from the Finals.

Maybe. I think Colangelo has to go. There's no more trust there.

it took sixers twitter about 12 hours to find out who "eric jr" was/is. i think its unlikely that there is any other investigating that needs doing, unless colangelo is straight-up lying to the 76ers as well

just admit that it was your wife, apologize, endeavor to persevere, and move on. easily blameable on a well-meaning but misguided spouse, with built-in plausible deniability

i do not understand why he is dragging this thing out with the draft and FA coming up in weeks

It's not that easy. Did you read all of the tweets? If you're a player, how do you trust the front office now?

He gone.

It's a terrible situation for Philly. The burner accounts were hating on LeBron and often took very MSB-ish positions on race issues that came up.

If there is any relation to Colangelo - and I'm 99.99% sure there is - it's over.

There is no way you can have Colangelo leading the FA meetings during the biggest offseason in franchise history.

And the Embiid stuff is bad but the Fultz comments are even worse. It would be extremely awkward if Colangelo kept his job, even if all the blame falls on the wife.

While JR is being roasted to the ends of the internet, Woj just casually dropped a report with Zach Lowe that the Sixers are strongly considering firing Colangelo.

I'm glad we are focusing on what's truly important. Thank you for the bump.

Colangelo is gone, surely.

Probably his Twitter accounts and just a part of the process.
