A quick refresher on the key rules involved with our expansion draft:
-Each NBA team may “protect” up to EIGHT players (contracted ONLY no Free Agents)
-Each Expansion Team may only choose from “Unprotected” players from existing NBA teams.
-Each team selects a minimum of 14 players and a maximum 19 players (enter season w/15 + 2 2-way contracts)
-An Expansion team may select no more than ONE player from an existing NBA team.
-Salary Cap is a non issue during the player selection…but does come into play on day 1 of the season
