Expansion draft hub
Protected Lists
Each club keeps 8 players. The call weighs on-court impact, what the contract costs, age and room to grow, and whether the team is chasing a title now or building for later. Everyone else is in the expansion pool.
Unrestricted free agents are ineligible: no club can protect them and no club can lose them. Restricted free agents stay in the pool, and a club that leaves one exposed risks losing him for nothing.
