I'm not against it out of fears of losing assets. I've always opposed broader dispersal drafts because I think that's where you punish GMs for taking a long view.
But an expansion draft to me isn't the same.
My opposition is that long-term I think it hurts the league by actually amplifying the issues we experience currently.
Over the long-term I believe the asset disparity would worsen, with the same number of assets spread across more teams. The gap between those teams that take an asset-building long view v. those that take a short-term win now view would actually widen.

You'd be back to where you started. And worse.
