Expansion draft: protect 7 players 

Post#1 » by PerkinsFor3 » Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:33 am

Hi ATL fans, I'm trying to get a list together with all the 7 players each NBA team would protect in case of a new expansion draft. I'm missing a few teams, and ATL is one of them.

Which 7 players would you protect against this expansion draft right now, and what players would be left unprotected? Please take into account salaries, years and also the possibility a new expansion team might pass up on drafting an expensive veteran (expansion teams can only use 64% of the salary cap in their first year).

Cheers!

Looks pretty obvious to protect those players. Thanks!

I wouldn't protect Joe; I'd rather protect Pape Sy.

It's a reasonable list, but I think the front office would get more tricky depending on how they feel about Marvin's contract. Joe could be left unprotected safely, but would it upset him on a personal level. Zaza is the one player you exposed that I think gets protected instead of Joe. The cost of replacing Zaza would be too great in a normal year.
