The 1970 NBA Expansion Draft was the fifth expansion draft of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The draft was held on May 11, 1970, so that the newly founded Buffalo Braves, Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers could acquire players for the upcoming 1970–71 season. Buffalo, Cleveland and Portland had been awarded the expansion teams on February 6, 1970. The Braves later underwent several name changes and relocations before moving to Los Angeles. They are currently known as the Los Angeles Clippers.[1] In an NBA expansion draft, new NBA teams are allowed to acquire players from the previously established teams in the league. 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 fourteen other NBA teams had protected seven players from their roster. After the each round, where each of the expansion teams had selected one player each, 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 third pick respectively. In the subsequent rounds, the Braves and Cavaliers exchanged their order of selection, while the Blazers had the second pick throughout the draft. The draft continued until both teams had selected eleven unprotected players each, while the existing teams had lost two or three players each.[2]
The Buffalo Braves were formed and owned by local businessman Paul Snyder.[3] He hired former Philadelphia 76ers head coach and 1966 Coach of the Year Dolph Schayes as the franchise's first head coach.[4] The Braves' selections included six-time All-Star Bailey Howell. However, Howell was immediately traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Bob Kauffman and a future second-round pick.[5] Nine players from the expansion draft joined the Braves for their inaugural season. Kauffman was named to the 1971 All-Star Game, becoming the franchise's first All-Star.[6]
The Cleveland Cavaliers were formed and owned by businessman Nick Mileti.[7] He hired former college basketball coach Bill Fitch as the franchise's first head coach.[8] The Cavaliers' selections included five-time All-Star Don Ohl and one-time All-Star Len Chappell. However, Ohl retired from playing prior to the start of the season and Chappell only played briefly before he was waived. Eight players from the expansion draft joined the Braves for their inaugural season. Butch Beard was the ninth player from the expansion draft to play for the Cavaliers. After one year serving in the military, he started playing with the Cavaliers in the 1971–72 season.[9]
The Portland Trail Blazers were formed and co-owned by Larry Weinberg, Herman Sarkowsky and Robert Shmertz.[10] They hired former college basketball coach Rolland Todd as the franchise's first head coach.[11] The Blazers' selections included former first overall pick Fred Hetzel and former third pick Larry Siegfried. However, Hetzel was waived without playing a game for the Blazers and Siegfried was immediately traded to the San Diego Rockets in exchange for Jim Barnett.[12] Six players from the expansion draft joined the Blazers for their inaugural season.
