So i was on another site called realgm and found a very interisting post about account on discus that were very similar to twitter accounts that were released.   You can see the account if you copy and paste disqus.com/by/jacob_reuben/.  I copied and pasted some of the comments below that i found scrolling through that looked very much like the twitter posts metion in the article.  Sorry for the wall of text.  

"Hi completely agree on Josh Harris, he lives and breaths the Sixers. There is true love and true passion there. It is not true that Colangelo is just managing assets, he is someone that Josh Harris trusts and he has “organically grown” to listen to. Again, you don’t get to be where Kosh Harris is if you don’t know how to manage a business enterprise. You mention d Chrysler and Fiat, but you didn’t mention Marchionne, the true reason things changed. Marchionne knew the market, the business, what makes a car appealing. He was overall in top of every aspects of the car market.

IMO Harris has given 148.5 mild to Joel (who fell into Sam’s laps) because he recognizes his talent, but also because Harris accepted the guidance on the subject of Colangelo, who I think is a more complete basketball executive than Hinkie, because (as Marchionne) he knows every aspects of the basketball market. Even in your answer you marginalized his input to a catch phrase. Harris has been spending a lot of money to upgrade on everything that was left behind, Colangelo has thought to a lot of those upgrades. Besides forming a “basketball” connection with Brent Brown. Main difference between Hinkie and Colangelo: Sam digged his hills in the ground deeper unwilling to ever admit his mistakes because he felt he was (and possibly he was, I don’t know) the smartest guy in the room. Colangelo seems more prone to learn from his mistakes: I.e. medical staff, top sport doctor in the world of sports, shopping for surgeons all over the country to find the best one for Joel (and gaining Joel’s) trust.

At the end Sam decided to play the part of the sacrificial lamb, h could have gone a different route: accepting he needed help and actually he should have learned from his mistakes and he should have stayed with the Sixers. I trust Harris when he says that Hinkie was NOT pushed out, Harris doesn’t seem to have filters and he just says it as it is.

Therefore we should agree on the fact that a smart man like Josh Harris has found someone with a different (better?!) approach to run the team he truly loves and he would not just settle for an asset manager as you seems to describe Colangelo.



You are so engaging to corrisponde to, that I am late for work!!! I apologize in advance for typos and syntax, I am not going back to edit. Need to run to my real life."

"You are back on speculating on facts you don’t really know the truth about. You are an amazing insightful writer and I have learned to appreciate your deep thinking on matter of basketball. I really have. Therefore I don’t understand when you go off and state for facts something that is not true. Also, the issue with Okafor is one nobody seems willing to touch, neither are you. Okafor’s knee situation was botched under Hinkie’s care. The true gravity of the injury was concealed even to the team insiders. Last year a trade was in place and agreed upon. Okafor was supposed to fly out to his new team (therefore he was left in Philly) BUT at the last minute the other team’s doctors requested to review once more the medical records and they recommended the deal to be mixed. Now you are going to tell me that I have no sources and I am making this up, but (knowing exactly what happened) I am calling you out on a blatant speculation you are trying to pass for the truth. As I did when you made false claimed last time. 

Why do you do stuff like this? You write amazing stories, where you display such deep understanding of the nuances of the game, then you go and try to sensationalize something and you get lost in a quicksand of destrorted reality.

 the league should have vetoed his hiring on the grounds of that alone!! 

[SeattleSuperChronicsParticipant]

 I don’t see any room for Colangelo if GM Lebron comes to town. 

[ChoppyParticipant]

 IF Colangelo is fired, and IF they hire David Griffin, do you think that makes Philly the favourite to land LeBron? 

[sixersman111Participant]

 I hope we dont hire Griffin.  I personally dont believe he’s a good gm. He made a lot of bad moves for the cavs which could be the result of Lbj but at the end of the day he made the decision to agree with him

[brodiejayParticipant]

Wow. I’m pretty convinced that’s him. Well spotted. I’m a writer, so I study words for a living and there’s certainly a lot going on here.

Does Colangelo really think he can go undetected by simply making obviously-forced (and completely unnatural) spelling mistakes? Does he honestly think he’ll pass as ‘the common man’ by throwing in a few spelling mistakes at random intervals while discussing specifics that only someone present could know?

 

He must be ridiculously insecure if he feels the need to praise HIMSELF publicly under pseudonyms???

[brodiejayParticipant]

I agree with brodiejay. His comment was so well thought out. I’ve learned to appreeshiate his deep thinking so much, I really have. I think brodiejay is a more compleet Australian poster than Choppy, because (like Colangelo) he knows every aspect of nbadraftnet.

I haven’t met brodiejay becoz I am just a regular Joe like all of you guys, my fellow common man, but I’ve heard he iz really handsome and he gets all the girls and he’s really rich and he’s not just famous becoz of his dad. Great comment brodiejay, nbadraftnet should give you more money because you are an absoloot asset to the website. Also please date my daughter brodiejay. She is a Brazilian supermodel and you are so good looking I think you are the only man that could ever be good enough.

[ChoppyParticipant]

 Hype Machine, is that you…? 

[brodiejayParticipant]

Haha. Please don’t compare me to that crazy dude!

Check my history mate. I was just playing. I always agree with you on here my man.

Just trying to compare myself to someone who’s on my team…. team rational Aussies that is…. team Rational Aussies 4 life haha! ♡♡♡

[ChoppyParticipant]

 I know mate, just playing lol. I enjoy your posts, just thought I’d bring up the late Hype Machine. May he rest in peace. 

[FuqdatassParticipant]

 IMO he is not worth a draft pick. While he can shoot pretty well and is a respectable floor general, he is a subpar athlete and defender. 

However, it wouldn’t surprise me that much if he got drafted, but I think there are better options in the second round. 

 

 

[ChoppyParticipant]

 If you’re referring to my mock draft, I just stuck a bunch of players in there to get started lol. Haven’t touched it since it went live. I’ll fix it up closer to the draft. To be honest, I have no real idea who Tony Carr is lol 

[ZachAttackParticipant]

 Too soon… *sniffles*

[FuqdatassParticipant]

 with the NBA draft?
