All, I am minding the store for the Pacers. Hakeem is FA, but we have full expectation to throw him the best offer of anyone to stay. It would need to be an enormous deal that benefits the Pacers long term to discuss a S&T for him. (They basically won 54 games with two players and a good veteran PG) I am checking with Manu on the unmanned Pacer squad as it pertains to the expansion draft....as they were basically not watched even through FA last year. That means without a 1st rounder....the only two contracted players on the team are Rickey Green and David Robinson! Not sure if any exception might be considered to provide a future #1 in the expansion instead of Robinson...given the circumstances around this team's ownership. Thanks! ljw SAS / caretaker IND

Wow that would make expansion interesting! But I agree that the league should probably make some other arrangement as there's no way even a half-arsed management would let that kind of screw up happen.

I'm not asking for any special favors..given I am minding the store only...but indeed I didn't want to simply toss those two into expansion and have anybody feel I am not being a good caretaker. Thats why I just want the league to know, and make the best decision for this situation. Whatever is decided is fine by me. ljw SAS/ caretake IND

I too hope an arrangement is made. If attended at any point during last FA or during the season, I'm sure Indiana would've easily added a pair of suitable contracts to fill the need.

Manu made it clear for me..I can sacrifice my 93 and 94 1st rounders...which truly is better then either Green or Robinson loss in my mind....losing either of the future 1's. ljw SAS

I think it would have been great for the league and expansion team if DRob was sent back to the draft, it would also add to equalising the competition.
So what happens if the future picks of the late 1st round arent wanted by either expansion team?
I do understand that Robinson would never have been allowed to join the draft but it is what it is in my mind.

I do not see any issue. All teams must make two items available but only one can be taken. Exactly the same process that with the two previous expansions.
