Potential Expansion Discussion

I'm not in favor of expansion (it will spread the talent level too thin, especially with an IL in place), but if you're going to do it, we should model it after the NBA's expansion draft rules as closely as possible.

The last one was the Bobcats in 2004 - http://www.nba.com/hornets/news/draft_central_expansion_rules_summary.html

SUMMARY OF EXPANSION DRAFT RULES

A. Player Selection
The Charlotte Bobcats Expansion Draft will take place on June 22 (if the NBA Finals extend to seven games, it will be June 23), prior to the 2004 NBA Draft on June 24.
The Bobcats will select a minimum of 14 players who are under contract or restricted free agents for the 2004-05 season.
The Bobcats may select no more than one player from each team.
The Bobcats can only select players that are left unprotected by an NBA team.
Each of the 29 NBA teams may protect a maximum of eight players on its roster who are under contract or are restricted free agents at the conclusion of the 2003-04 season.
Each of the 29 NBA teams will designate the players on its roster who are eligible for selection by the Bobcats.
Each of the 29 NBA teams must designate at least one player on its roster to be eligible for selection by the Bobcats, even if the team does not have eight players under contract or as restricted free agents for the 2004-05 season.
Any player under contract selected by the Bobcats will immediately be placed on the Bobcats roster.
Any eligible restricted free agent selected by the Bobcats shall immediately become an unrestricted free agent.
Unrestricted free agents are not eligible to be protected nor are they eligible to be selected by the Bobcats.
B. Pre-Expansion Draft Trades
Teams will be permitted to enter into pre-Expansion Draft trades involving players or draft picks in which Charlotte agrees to select or not select certain unprotected players in return.
C. Salary Cap
Charlotte will be permitted to select players in the Expansion Draft without regard to the Salary Cap.
Charlotte will have a Salary Cap in its first season equal to 66% of the Salary Cap applicable to the rest of the league and a Salary Cap in its second season equal to 75% of the Salary Cap applicable to the rest of the league.
Charlotte will be permitted to sign any restricted free agent it selects in the Expansion Draft using the same “Bird,” “Early Bird” or “Non-Bird” Exception that the player’s prior team would have had.
Compensation paid to a selected player under a contract protected for lack of skill will be excluded from Charlotte’s Team Salary if the player’s contract is terminated (via the waiver procedure) prior to the start of the 2004-05 season.
A team with a Team Salary above the Salary Cap will receive a Trade Exception to replace a player (other than a restricted free agent) selected from its unprotected list.
D. Post-Expansion Draft Transactions
A team will not be permitted to reacquire a player that it loses in the Expansion Draft prior to the expiration of one year from the date of the Expansion Draft, unless the player is waived and not claimed by any other team.

We could change the league settings next year to cut a bench spot from all rosters, dropping team size from 15 to 14 players, to increase the talent pool. So all of the existing teams will already be dropping one player.

Adding two new teams, then that would be 28 players needed. Each existing team could protect a certain number of players (8? 10?) and can only lose two players in the expansion draft. This spreads the pain around equally and doesn't punish teams that developed stronger benches.

That would be 24 players in the expansion draft and the two new teams could add one more player each from the general pool of free agents (already expanded because every team already had to drop a player) and one player each in the summer lottery draft.

Here's my preferences on this issue

- select 2 guys for the expansion....12 team league becomes 14 team league
-playoff format changes from 6 teams to 8 teams...standard procedure in the playoffs (1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5)
-protect 8 players...leaving 7 unprotected, and up for grabs for the new guys
-new guys get #1&2 picks in the upcoming FA draft.... flip a coin or something...and to reward the loser, he gets to pick first between the two, from our unprotected players
- reduce roster sizes from 15 to 14
-unprotected guys who were not picked by the expansionists, STILL will be on the owner's teams
-dudes who have the most to lose( players lost to the new guys' teams)...get to pick first from the FA pool to complete their rosters(this will be after the regular draft, and the expansion draft)....so we'd basically have 3 different drafts

As of right now this is what stands:

-The league will be expanding 2 more teams at the conclusion of the 2015-2016 season,
-The potential candidate list includes (so far): moonpie, marionettec, dockingsched
-Team roster size will be trimmed from 15 players to 14.
-Teams will protect up to 9 players, the remaining players become subject to the expansion draft
-The expansion draft will include Current FA pool, the Unprotected Taken Players, and the 1 player from each that was cut in order to trim the roster down to 14 per team.
-The new managers would get picks 1 and 2 in the annual offseason FA/rookie draft. It will be decided by the commissioner how the picks will be decided between the two new managers.
- Unprotected taken players that weren't drafted will go back to original owners. Teams that drop under 14 player roster size due to the expansion draft will have to wait until the annual offseason FA/rookie draft to add players again.
- You will not be allowed to openly add FA until Yahoo opens up (definitely not until the FA/rookie draft is over).


This would mean....

- 12 team league becomes a 14 team league
- Playoffs would expand to 8 teams from the current 6 team playoff system. Top 2 teams from regular season will get first round byes.
- The Rookie/FA draft will be as follows:

1. New Team 1
2. New Team 2
3. Worst record
4. - 14. Champion
15. Champion - 26. Worst record
27. New Team 2
28. New Team 1

__________

Since I have a bye this week, I thought I'd take a look at our league's 2017 draft order so far.
For the non-playoff teams, their picks (1-6 and 18-24) are determined by their regular season record, so the consolation bracket results will have no impact on the draft.
The rest of the picks are to be determined by the playoff results (TBD).
