Note: The EXPANSION DRAFT HAS STARTED!!! https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/p/MfkPB_LI0aHE1T/nba-expansion-mock-submit-picks-here
NOTE: Free Agency Bidding is from Saturday-Monday! Look for the link below in the Free Agency section!!
Welcome to the NBA Expansion Mock! We are adding twelve expansion teams voted on by y’all to join the National Basketball Association. This is like any other fan mock, but with an expansion mock draft and a free agency bidding period added alongside the NBA Draft and trade deadline!
Current NBA teams will only be allowed to protect 4 players of the GM’s choice. All the rest are available in the 10 round expansion draft with the 12 new teams. The cities of those teams have been/are being voted on by y’all at our voting polls made by our leading organizers:
harizs21
chrisgon0203
asapcohen23
craycraymystic1
and myself.
Make sure to go follow them, they have been a big help.
The city with the most votes on the final poll will get the top pick in the expansion draft and the better pick in the NBA Draft.
The NBA Draft will be structured like so:
Detroit
(Top Expansion Team)
Houston
(2nd Place Expansion Team)
Cleveland
And so on and so forth...
EXPANSION DRAFT:
10 rounds, 12 teams. If you register as a current NBA Team, be sure to tell me which players you protect. I will make a post with a list of unprotected players for y’all to use. Here is the link: https://fanspo.com/u/SchlenkSystem/p/3pHpLGJkGWQu4n/nba-expansion-mock-unprotected-players-list
FREE AGENCY BIDDING:
After the expansion draft, there will be a 2-day period to bid for free agents.
⭐️This has to stay salary cap-realistic, so no offering billions of dollars.⭐️
Unrestricted Free Agents Can Be Bid On Like Usual, But Restricted Free Agents (Say, John Collins) have the same rules here that apply in real life. The team with the restricted free agent can match a team’s offer and retain their player.
I will make a list soon if all the unrestricted and restricted free agents soon, and the link will be here:

TRADING:
After the free agency bidding, there will be a 10-day trading period for all the teams to trade picks and players, like in a normal mock draft.
NBA DRAFT:
Even though this mock will be taking place after this year’s draft, we will use the player’s from this year’s rounds. Also, we will use the format shown earlier, so there will be 26 lottery picks and 84 total picks over the two rounds.
