Boo hoo

A small price to pay for playing a completely different sport.

Maybe they shouldn’t have left Seattle.

You were gonna have to let some guys walk anyway

Pwease don’t take the players from our stolen team!

you’re keeping sga, chet, dub, five other pieces, and (critically) sam presti. i think you’ll be okay

Boo hoo I hope the sonics ruin you

We will losev1 player just like every one else, our player might be better cuz we have one of the best 9th man in the league, but we have the other players to fill their spot

You actually need the roster spots for the incoming draft picks.

You don’t want to hit on a gem and be obligated to trade him away early

Oh no something slightly bad has to happen to the thunder for once

Jared McCain, get ready to learn Space Needle buddy.

This made me think about your roster and damn yall are hella deep.

I didn’t think there were really any teams who would mourn the loss of their 9th most cherished player. This is definitely not ideal for yall.

We gotta give him one more chance

Huh? I don’t actually know how expansion draft rules work. Would that have to be in a separate deal from drafting PG himself?

Honestly maybe ever. 32 teams is a great number for a league for a lot of reasons

Yep Toronto and Vancouver were added in 1995 to bring the league to 29 teams. It took another 9 years until 2004 to add Charlotte as the 30th team. Then 24 years to get to 2028 when Seattle and Vegas will start playing. Another expansion probably wouldn’t come until sometime like 2040-2050.

I hope they leave my Euroleague alone.

Alternatively, it would be fun to have an NBA game but in front of Turkish, Serbian or Greek fans.

Nah

I do hope NBA makes more international games and stuff for international fans (not just europe, but asia, south america, africa, etc.)… Maybe even a small tournament with a few teams from each league every year (like fifa’s club world cup)…

but Euroleague doesn’t need NBA, it should be kept two different things. Specially because main european teams are fans-owned and would never accept to be bought by the NBA, and the NBA wouldn’t make deal with them.

I don’t want this draft to happen. There are a min of 12 guys I would HATE to see us lose.

The average Jalen is rivaled only by the average Nikola, they’d be lucky to get more than 4 or 5

On the other hand, they were lucky to end up with Seattle’s beloved team in the first place.

A team (I think maybe the Suns) traded for who they thought was Dillon Brooks, but the Grizzlies thought they wanted Marshon Brooks, so it was hurriedly rescinded. 

It happened with Marshon Brooks & Dillon Brooks when both were on the Grizzlies

Big brain theory is they take Embiid, then clear a ton of cap space immediately the next season, at which point they can take on bad contracts for draft assets and/or overpay free agents that they can flip later.

Ah yes drafting in 29 when they will play in 28-29. Gonna play 28-29 season with no players fs

I can’t wait to stay awake until 4:30 am to watch 1 h and 30 minutes of content and 3 hours of adds.

Only to see live who they’ll be picking in the regular draft and who they are going to pick from Spurs roster.

2 things that will take around 1 minute of screen time combined.

Full chaos, zero protections

its like 60-80-100% or something right?

WNBA did expansion draft before the free agency for the Valkyries in 2024, it seems to be the case this year too for the Fire and the Tempo

They can always waive or cut players to add roster spots

I just feel like Morey wouldn’t do it out of pride or something

Bold of you to assume.

This fuckery wont be going on for much longer

I can’t select 8 players to keep lol… maybe fox will be dangled due his contract since our rookies might need to be paid too when ED happens…or maybe luke if we get lucky on a back up center at the draft…but luke has a good contract too… damn good thing there’s a few more years before it happens and hopefully it gets clearer by then…

I don’t know why he’s still a starter. We have Caso, Ajay, and IJoe that are all better producers than him. He’s fallen off big time. And the fouls don’t help.

Google as confirmed you are correct my friend. I’ll eat the downvotes as an apology

Each expansion draft has had slightly different rules. Wait and see

Definitely a bot
