Expansion has been a topic of debate in recent years, with NBA commissioner Adam Silver dubbing it “inevitable“. Assuming Seattle is the primary target, the league would undergo significant roster shifts in an effort to add two teams to the fold (one in the East to balance the conferences).
Our friends at Valley of the Suns recently brought up the question: Who should the Suns protect in the event of an expansion draft? We’re going to apply that same question to the Philadelphia 76ers, playing by the same rules. Each team gets to protect eight players, leaving the others up for grabs.
