Never did I ever think I’d write that headline. The Dark Lord of the Process Sam Hinkie reached out to Phillies mega-signing Bryce Harper over the weekend offering to sell his house:

The 8,453 sq. ft. home features five bedrooms, six bathrooms (two half baths), and a detached oversized three car garage sitting on a 0.64 acre lot. It is simply unreal.

Look at this:

It’s freaking beautiful. This is where the Process was born. This is where Sam Hinkie brainstormed ways to take advantage of an inexperienced Vlade Divac. This is where Hinkie formulated a plan to maximize the the Sixers’ odds of acquiring a top player thanks to the NBA’s draft lottery rules.

Do you think Hinkie ever took advantage of this SPACIOUS living room?

Imagine being his kid. You get to go to school and tell your friends that your dad just drafted the future of the NBA, a 7’1″ center from Kansas by way of Cameroon, Joel Embiid:

Look at this staircase.

Started from the bottom, now we here:

I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the kitchen cabinets:

Sam once said in his resignation letter, “It’s clear now that I won’t see the harvest of the seeds we planted. That’s OK. Life’s like that. Many of my NBA friends cautioned me against the kind of seed sowing that felt appropriate given the circumstances for exactly this reason.” What a seed sower he is! Look at this beautiful lawn!

Sure, there are some rough patches – drafting Okafor, JP Tokoto, not massaging agents’ egos – but the majority is wonderful. The seeds were planted, and now the Sixers- much like that line of trees, stands tall and firm.

Here’s the full listing from Berkshire Hathaway. If you choose to buy it, please let them know Crossing Broad sent you.
