Expansion Draft 

Post#1 » by TheProfessor » Sat Jan 11, 2025 6:17 pm

Hey Thunder 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.

pick 8 players that can't be traded/drafted?

7 are easy I think: SGA, JDub, Chet, Hartenstein, Dort, Caruso, Wallace, Then flip a coin between Isaiah Joe and Wiggins.

I might retain Topic.

Also would be worth revisiting when the expansion draft occurs for the new franchises because it is still some amount of time in the future, a lot can change in that time. If OKC makes a splashier trade (like Cam Johnson) obviously he's in the protected category.
Cheers

fair enough. I think I would end up unprotecting Caruso but I still hope he can play his A game with OKC.
