About a week after the bombshell report from The Ringer about alleged Twitter accounts operated by Philadelphia 76ers GM Bryan Colangelo, the two parties have decided to part ways.
In the May 29th report, The Ringer claimed to receive anonymous tips about five Twitter accounts — @phila1234567, @AlVic40117560, @Honesta34197118, @Enoughunkownso1, and @s_bonhams — that were reportedly being run by Philadelphia 76ers general manager Bryan Colangelo (the anonymous source determined this by using “open-source data analysis”).
The accounts were brash and unprofessional, tweeting criticisms of NBA players such as Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor, and Nerlens Noel, publicly questioning the decisions of the 76ers’ coaching staff, critiquing former Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie and Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri, telegraphing the 2017 Markelle Fultz trade, disclosing nonpublic medical information about Okafor and gossiping about Embiid and Fultz to members of the national and Philadelphia media.
