I don't see as the franchise should be penalized. Its super shady but also not exactly libelous I would imagine. I mean there is some double standard where KD can post as another but Colangelo cant. I get the distinction. But at the same time, if what he's saying isn't exactly falsehood- i.e. Noel is an idiot, Embiid egomaniac, Fultz a flake-- all likely true! What is the damage? That its in a public arena? Done by burner account? All bizarre and fireable and fineable but not much beyond that.
But is it worse than Kupchak selling Donnie damaged goods? Or Clippers locking DeAndre away and that whole fiasco? No repercussions in either case. The strange part is Colangelo disparaging his own players- he drafted Fultz! You only need to watch Fultz on camera for literally two minutes for red flags to fly. So he got fleeced by Ainge and proceeded to tank his own guys trade value. What an f'ing idiot.
