Are you ready to bet on Dejounte over Patty?
Definitely. I'd protect
Kawhi
LMA
Danny
Dejounte
Manu
Manu stays for his leadership, and because he's (maybe) less broken than TP.

I love Manu, but he's gonna retire in a year or maybe two tops
Gotta keep one old guy from the championship years, and I'll take Manu over Tony at this point.

But they can only take one anyway. It wouldn't make sense to take someone with a year left, so I don't think they need protecting.
Oh right. I honestly don't know who I'd protect after Lenny, LMA, Danny, Dejounte.

Based on who people have posted their team would protect, my selection:
PG Marcus Smart (Boston)
SG Will Barton (Denver)
SF Danny Green (San Antonio)
PF Al-Farooq Aminu (Portland)
C Cody Zeller (Charlotte)
PG TJ McConnell (Philadelphia)
PG Cory Joseph (Indiana)
SG Patrick McCaw (Golden State)
SG Terrence Ferguson (Oklahoma City)
SF Tony Snell (Milwaukee)
SF OG Anunoby (Toronto)
PF Nemanja Bjelica (Minnesota)
PF Derek Favors (Utah)
C Kelly Olynyk (Miami)
Cap room remaining: $11.1m
UFAs: Favors, Barton / Green and Joseph have players options
Your only long term contacts are Zeller 4/56m, Snell 4/46m and Olynyk 4/50m which are all perfectly reasonable. Smart, McCaw, Ferguson, Anunoby are all on rookie contracts so will be RFAs when their deals expire. The guys who are UFAs this summer could all be moved to a contender at the deadline for assets. But if you wanted to compete you have $11m in cap space to go get someone and I think the team as is even without a trade would definitely be a playoff team in the east.
Other than deliberately building a team full of rookies and bottoming out for a top three draft pick, this is a pretty good situation. Potential playoff team now, with several young guys who could improve and also excellent flexibility moving forward with no-one on the roster having a bad contract.
You can't take Green. Besides Kawhi and LMA. he's one of the few Spurs guys I'm sure I'd protect.
