Hey Heat fans, Just wanted to know if in an expansion draft what 8 players are you protecting? Remember 1 player must be unprotected from the draft and player/team options can also be protected. Thanks guys. Also what would you be willing to give up to protect one of your players from not being selected.

Pelle Larson
Keshad Johnson
Isaiah Stevens
Josh Christopher
Dru Smith
Omer Yurtseven (can replace Bam and not miss a beat)
Cole Swider
Tyler Herro

Heat nations most beloved player, protect them all!! 1 unprotected player for Heat Nation would be Edrice “Bam” Adebayo

Pretty sure Omer Yurtseven is playing in Turkey.

Bam
Herro
JJJ
Ware
Niko
Larsson
Keshad
Dru

Not sure I bother with Highsmith, though he is a positive contract, maybe him over Dru.

Also Niko is a hard one because his extension is coming up and making a long term commitment to him will be a difficult choice depending on the market

If it were today/this summer:

Bam
Herro
JJJ
Ware
Niko
Larsson
Keshad
Highsmith

No one is signing Dru with his injury, so he's effectively protected by default and can be resigned with little risk.

The expansion team would 100% take Duncan. Good character, great shooter who could fit in a variety of lineups, not too old or young, contract that gets them to the salary floor, etc.

He knows. It was a joke. A lot of fans were insanely hyped about Yurt.
