The fate of 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo is expected to be determined soon, and maybe even today.
Some league sources expect him to lose his job after a New York law firm hired by the team wraps up its investigation into allegations from a sports and pop culture website that Colangelo is connected to anonymous Twitter accounts, ones that have revealed sensitive team information and criticized players and coach Brett Brown.
They said that the Sixers ownership group prefers to fire employees on Friday evenings. The group, according to sources, considers Friday-evening firings less distracting because very few people will be the office Saturday when the former employee cleans out his belongings.
