## Resource

NBA expansion could bring two new teams, triggering a draft where existing squads protect key players. Bleacher Report simulated the Brooklyn Nets’ potential protected list under 2004 rules, naming eight names — most of which make sense: high-potential rookies like Egor Dëmin and Mikel Brown Jr., offensive weapon Michael Porter Jr., and young developmental assets Day’Ron Sharpe, Noah Clowney, and Josh Minott. The tougher calls? Choosing between Drake Powell, Joshua Jefferson, Danny Wolf, and Nolan Traore. I’d go with Powell for his defensive upside and developing offense, and Wolf over Jefferson because he’s already proven NBA-ready. Final protected list: Dëmin, Brown, Porter, Sharpe, Clowney, Minott, Powell, Wolf — a balanced mix to build for the future while preserving talent.
