Not all players on a given team are available during an expansion draft, since each team can protect a certain number of players from being selected. In this draft, each of the other fourteen NBA teams protected seven players from their roster. After each round, after all of the expansion teams had selected one player, each of the existing teams added another player to their protected list. In the first round, the Braves had the first pick, while the Blazers and the Cavaliers had the second and the third picks respectively. In the subsequent rounds, the Braves and the Cavaliers exchanged their order of selection, while the Blazers had the second pick throughout the draft. The draft continued until all three teams had selected eleven unprotected players each, while the existing teams had lost two or three players each.Recht Mike May 7, 1970 Pro Basketball Draft Slated https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vQgeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wUYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7096,1783617 live https://web.archive.org/web/20160512184049/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=vQgeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=wUYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7096,1783617 May 12, 2016 March 21, 2010 Daily News The Buffalo Braves were formed and owned by local businessman Paul Snyder.Clippers: 1970–71 http://www.nba.com/clippers/history/Clippers_History__Buffalo-53157-111.html https://web.archive.org/web/20121105141855/http://www.nba.com/clippers/history/Clippers_History__Buffalo-53157-111.html November 5, 2012 March 22, 2010 NBA.com Turner Sports Interactive, Inc He hired former Philadelphia 76ers head coach and 1965 end Coach of the Year Dolph Schayes as the franchise's first head coach.Dolph Schayes Bio http://www.nba.com/history/players/schayes_bio.html live https://web.archive.org/web/20201217053719/https://www.nba.com/history/players/schayes_bio.html December 17, 2020 March 22, 2010 NBA.com Turner Sports Interactive, Inc The Braves' selections included six-time All-Star Bailey Howell.
