I hope Jerry is trying to let his own son take the fall on his tweets. That would be the cherry here.

Ramadu posted:He forgot how to shoot because his uncle was training him and made him sit in chairs and lay down on the floor and shoot Apparently this guy helped raise Fultz, screwed up his shot against the team's wishes and Fultz basically had to cut him out of his life. It's basically the only story that fits with everything that was seen and explains why no one was willing to divulge any information or even a cover story. And it was broken by a Colangelo burner twitter used to defend collar size.

AnacondaHL posted:holy poo poo lmao The Ringer story said it was data analysis based on who was followed and certain linguistic quirks. I used to run a text analytics AI team and I can assure you it is not nearly as precise as you are making it out to be. Family members who share common follows and talk about the same topics with the same terminology would definitely score as very similar.

Yeah, I mean if it was his wife just posting the collar stuff, or even just the "BC did a great job in Toronto give him his due" that would not be a story. If she is actively leaking information that is both private and actively damaging the franchise then Colangelo's ability to do his job is shot to hell.

He didn't know his wife was tweeting, that's why he called her and had her put all get accounts on private as soon as a journalist asked about it.

Dejan Bimble posted:Colangelo will probably be fired, because everyone wants to save face. But, disregarding that, does he deserve to be fired for his wife taking things said in confidence and tweeting them to local media figures? Aside from fault, part of a GMs job is to be effective at what he does in the public and NBA spheres, and this obviously affects that. I don't see how he can do his job anymore. Whether it's his fault or just a massive bad situation that he could not change, he still is neutered. I also think its BS none of those handles that tweeted were his or he knew about them, because they all went dark when the reporter contacted the office. Eric Jr didn't, and it was the worst, but the other ones had tweets that absolutely were a problem coming from a GM.

Paul Zuvella posted:Firing people is hard and they are likely trying to get out of his contract. There are a lot of legal things that have to be done for that to happen so it makes sense to me. This made a lot more sense before team-friendly media outlets started leaking he was staying. Due diligence is important, but the longer this stretches out the less likely they will do something definitive. Paul Zuvella posted:My big theory is that the NBA is actively pressuring them to not announce it until after the finals are over (which is dumb as hell) because they dont want the news overshadowing/interfering with the finals. This is obviously This is probably the last hope.

IcePhoenix posted:Because I know nothing about this stuff: is the only reason they could have asked for the phone because of the possible HIPPA violations due to the tweets about Okafor and Noel? Because if so that adds an entirely new level of hilarity to this. Private investigation. She could have said no, but that would be suspicious. I don't think there is any court order or criminal investigation. HIPPA only applies to medical personnel, so there would be no violation.

Metapod posted:How will Jerry ruin the Sixers free agency? What could he do? Jerry Colangelo has strong ties to agents through USA basketball. That was a good reason he got involved in the first place, the concern wasn't that the 76ers were losing games, but that agents were getting pissed off their players were getting traded so frequently. If Colangelo wanted to he could call in favors or "you scratch mine I'll scratch yours" with some agents to steer players away from FA meetings or things like draft workouts. I'm not sure how realistic those threats are though.

euphronius posted:The cba restricts divulging serious medical info without the players consent . Maybe your link says that I didn’t click it. CBA, sure. I imagine the 76ers have code of conduct that was violated too, but it's not a legal violation. If a team Doctor tweets out "Lol, Embiid's leg fell off" that could have legal consequences. It seems unlikely Colangelo/his wife would be in that same boat.

The Eric Jr was one of the ones they brought to the attention of the 76ers at first, so if that one suddenly turned off it would be obvious who ran it. They turned the others off because they didn't know the Ringer knew about them. Shame Eric Jr was in the control group because it was by far the "best".

Colangelo largely did do a good job outside of this last draft which was largely considered a good move at the time and a move that I think most GMs would have done. That can be true while also being true that it was a Nepotism hire and the whole tweet thing makes him a crappy GM.
