A couple of NBA executives even got in on the fun, as Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban added even more humor to the bizarre story.
You need two blue checks to confirm you are not a burner https://t.co/eZPp2KZ3hg

Actually , that was back in the day. As of the new TPA (Twitter Posting Agreement ) every NBA exec gets assigned 7 burner accounts. Let me know if I can help you get a 🔥for your accounts. BTW, loved your burner account names. @moreymeister is my fave. #FeelTheBurn https://t.co/SRn6vH6PBd

So there are still two more burner accounts? Can Cyber Dust help? https://t.co/7LTrnF9uA0

Alright, I'm coming clean. All this time, this has been a burner account. https://t.co/ofNoyi3frR

Colangelo Statement: I am not familiar with any of the other accounts that have been brought to my attention, nor do I know who is behind them or what their motives may be in using them.

I bet Brad Stevens has a bunch of burner accounts tweeting nothing but positive reinforcement to his players

Hey remember the time the NBA warmly welcomed Bryan Colangelo in replacement of Sam Hinkie because Sam Hinkie was deemed too embarrassing for the league

Let Bryan Colangelo and Drake teach you a lesson. If you have any connection at all to the Toronto Raptors, ask your doctor about how you can avoid catching an L. It’s dangerous out there

Please RT.
Tonight has already surpassed the DeAndre Jordan hostage crisis for second place in the all-time NBA twitter night power rankings. It's still not touching the vetoed Chris Paul trade.

Sorry, Bryan. Got you.

Went to “reset password” and tried three of his burners. Every single one has a phone number ending in 91. This is clearly not a coincidence.
