Expansion is on the horizon in the NBA, which is poised to enter a new media rights deal that will increase the salary cap significantly. Considering the money the league is expected to bring in, that might be the time it adds a team or two to the 30 that already exist.
When it comes to a future expansion draft, which players on the roster might the Philadelphia 76ers lose?
In the latest expansion draft back in 2004 for the then-Charlotte Bobcats, teams were allowed to protect eight players, and the Bobcats were allowed to select only one unprotected player from each roster. They ended up with 19 players to form their first-ever roster.
Assuming these same rules will be in place for a future expansion draft, Evan Sidery of Basketball News looked at a possible expansion draft and which players on the Sixers might be available.
