"A team-by-team list of the players that were protected as well as unprotected for Charlotte's expansion draft, as well as free agents. All info is as most currently reported or rumored."
Take that as you will. "This is what we think" is what I think they mean. I see no reason why Croshere would be protected given the size of his contract.
Anyway, this is what passes for their "premium content" I guess.
