Expansion Draft- just for fun

[JDR720]

I thought about Holiday over Cousins but Holiday makes 26m per year for the next 4 years (last one being an option) and i dont think teams would pay that for him. More likely to take a swing on Cousins star power.

Also thought about Mirotic and Moore. Mirotic has a good skillset for the modern NBA at a modest contract and Moore did really well last season on a cheap contract. Skillset is also why i picked Frank over Cody and Cody's injury problems limit his likelihood to be picked too.

Sonics get 1st pick, because they deserve it. LV Gold Diggers 2nd. Sonics going to build around Klay (college in Wash) to win now. GDs trying to go young and save cap space.

Sonics
1. Klay 1y/18mil
3. Rozier 1/3.5
5. G Harris 4/16.5
7. Sabonis 3/2.5
9. Olynyk 3/11
11. P George FA
13. Ingles 3/13
15. P Tucker 3/8
17. Nance Jr 2/2
19. Portis 2/2.5
21. Aminu 1/7
23. I Thomas FA
25. Crawford 1/5

took longshot w/ George. Brought home many locals.



Gold Diggers
2. Saric 2/2.5
4. Brogdon 1/1.5
6. D Murrray 2/1.5
8. L Williams 3/8
10. Bender 3/4.5

Cool idea, I always liked stuff like this.

Except the expansion teams should be the Supersonics and the Spirits of St Louis : D

Interested...

I made my list. A couple of guys I’m torn on. Excluding only rookies from 2017.

Spurs- Kawhi, Aldridge and Dejounte Murray. Which 2?

Denver- Jokic... Murray/Harris

Thunder- Westbrook....Adams/George?

Knicks- Porzingis... Mudiay/other?

Nets- Russel... Levert/RHJ/Dinwiddie?

Jazz- Gobert.... Rubio/Ingles?

Suns- booker... warren/bender?

Hornets- Kemba...Kaminksy or Lamb (Leave all the big contracts exposed from hornets)

Rosier over Hayward was an odd choice... I get the whole younger and cheaper, but Terry is due to get paid and might ask for far too much. Hayward at 30 million over next 3 years seems solid.

I would be so mad if this is how expansion drafts were done... especially after our expansion draft in 04 yielded Gerald Wallace and no other good players at all.
