What if the NBA decided it was time to expand the league this summer? That’s something SB Nation NBA decided it was time to tackle, and all 30 team blogs were asked to create expansion draft rosters. Each team was allowed to protect eight players, with the rest going into the expansion pool.
That’s a fairly easy process for the Los Angeles Lakers. Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Julius Randle, Brook Lopez, Larry Nance, Jr., Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jordan Clarkson jump out as easy locks.
