Exposed Players

[London]

Expansion plays out by each team currently in the league offering up a number of players to the new teams to choose from based on how many players they have under contract.

15 Players = Expose 7
14 Players = Expose 6
13 Players = Expose 5
12 Players = Expose 4
11 Players = Expose 3
10 Players = Expose 2
9 Players to 5 Players = Expose 1
4 Players or below = Expose 0

Keep in mind this is for the amount of people you'll have in the OFF-SEASON not right now.

Also, please don't pick up large player options only to expose a player to the draft. Don't be a dick. You're a fool if you think people don't hold grudges

Another important note: If you expose 4 players and one of the expansion teams picks one of those 4 the remaining 3 become protected again and you cannot lose any more players.

POST IN THIS THREAD THE PLAYER(S) [IF ANY] THAT YOU'LL BE EXPOSING TO THE DRAFT

Let's make this clear.

**ANYONE WHO DOESN'T POST IN THIS THREAD GETS A STRIKE**

Deadline is sometime after the Finals are run so you have a little time. I'll be more specific as we get closer but you can take care of it now (and change your mind of who to expose by editing your post).

It's likely that trades won't be able to be processed until after the expansion draft so what you have (save re-signings/options) is what you have.

Okay sounds good. I doubt these guys get picked anyway

[Deleted]

I have no players.

Bye.

[Athens]

Athens expose 0 players....

[New York]

Just did the research on this, there will be 28 players available, between 22 teams. Meaning, as long as neither expansion team goes over the HC, 1 player from each team will be selected, and then a 2nd player will be selected from the other guys Beijing, Mahram, REAL exposed.

I'm working on an article so i'll go into more detail there, but there is really no reason for a team to go over the HC. Big contracts likely to be in the expansion draft:

*Those in bold are the only options from their team

Lew Hitch - 12,250,000
Rod Hundley - 14,078,785
Al Cervi - 14,336,000
Antonio Diaz Miguel - 22,087,990/Team Option
Connie Simmons - 13,079,500
Armenak Alachachian - 10,500,000
Satch Sanders - 16,350,000/Team Option

Total Amount = 102,682,275

(John Beckman may be here as well if Milano wants an extra 20 Mill in cap-space)

Lew Hitch & Rod Hundley likely will not be selected, with the expansion teams knowing they'll have to already take on bigger contracts, they'll likely take Hairston/Paultz and then take the other one once each 22 eligible teams have had a player selected. So let's take them out

Total Amount = 76,353,490 (split that in half = 38,176,745)

other contracts that are greater than 2 million, that are likely to be exposed:

Happy Hairston - 2,106,087
Arnie Risen - 5,995,000
Bill Sharman - 3,897,489
Teofilo Cruz - 5,901,570

Total Amount = 17,900,146 (split that in half = 8,950,073)

Combine that with the above = 94,253,636

Split that in half and after the likely big contracts are dispersed each team would have an average salary of = 47,126,818
* I know this could be different if one team mistakenly decides to draft all the large contracts, but just go with it.

Other than this there will likely be 17 contracts below 2 Million, some below 1 million, but let's just round off to 2 Million

17 players = 34,000,000 (split this in half = 17,000,000)

Combine that with the above = 128,253,636 (note that all 17 minimum guys likely won't be selected, so this number will be even lower)

Split that in half and the average salary for each team will =  64,126,818

and again (note that all 17 minimum guys likely won't be selected, so this number will be even lower)

This leaves each team with nearly 16 Million before the hard cap. So even if one team takes an extra big contract, that i'm not expecting they should have enough to be under the HC. After the expansion draft:

Team 1 will need to have = 3,731,746 for the 4th pick and their 2nd rounder
Team 2 will need to have = 3,418,984 for the 5th pick and their 2nd rounder

They should both have that, and in the off-chance they don't they'll have a decent amount of partially/fully unguaranteed contracts to cut/trade.

I predict that of the 28 players available the only ones that will return to their teams are these 4:

Lew Hitch (not a spectacular player this year and would be hard to fit next year, with the other big contract guys)
Rod Hundley (see above)
Jim McMillian (solid but Charlie Scott & Keith Erickson are better prospects plus he's the only one that doesn't have an extra year)
Lucius Jackson (He could be picked after Jim King is selected, and every other team runs out of prospects, with the 23rd or 24th pick, but I think there will be better options from REAL and Aoshen there).

Again i'll go more in depth about this in my up coming article, including players that I think will be exposed by the teams we haven't heard from yet. But just wanted to post why each team will have someone picked (if we go by what the game does) and the HC shouldn't be an issue.
