Great in-depth SI profile of Sam Hinkie right here. Didn't know all that much about Sam before reading this, but I always thought the ultra-mega-tanking in Philly would pay off sooner rather than later. This article made me a big fan. Very interesting cat.
good article. love this about taking over the Sixers: "When he took over in Philadelphia in May 2013, the team was soundly mediocre and trending down. Few assets. Bad contracts. Hinkie compares it to coming into a game of Monopoly midstream, only, 'You don’t have any real estate, all the hundreds are gone, and they’ve got Park Place.' "
