The Sixers aren't the laughingstock of the NBA on the court anymore. Off the court, however, is an entirely different story, thanks to the absurd story involving Bryan Colangelo and five Twitter accounts, which the Sixers are currently investigating.
One of the many, many unfortunate aspects of this story is its timing - a month before free agency begins. It may behoove the Sixers to make a decision sooner rather than later (see story), because right now, the top free agents seem to be laughing at the Sixers, not thinking about joining them.
Exhibit A: LeBron James
Speaking to the media before Game 2 of the NBA Finals, James was asked if he was aware of a series of tweets from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert sharing his thoughts on how his team reached the Finals this season.
"No, not aware," James said. "I'm not on social media right now, so I was not aware of that."
"It was his account though, right? Ba-dum-tss."
That Ba-dum-tss is not added - James actually made that drum noise after throwing shade at Colangelo.
