    according to the Observer -

    NEW YORK -- Charlotte's NBA expansion team will have the fourth overall pick in the 2004 rookie draft, league deputy commissioner Russ Granik said Wednesday. That franchise, to start play in the fall of 2004, was awarded to billionaire Robert Johnson Wednesday morning.

    Granik also described several other details of the terms of the expansion agreement to The Observer:

    -- The team will select 14 veterans off other NBA rosters after each of the 29 existing teams is allowed to protect eight players. No existing team will lose more than one veteran.

    -- There will be no salary guidelines on the dispersal draft. If the new team could avoid long-term contracts, it could hypothetically take all minimum-salaried players in the expansion draft.

    -- Under the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, the team will have two-thirds of the existing cap in its first season, three-quarters in the second season, and a full cap starting in the third season.

    that's kinda bizarre about the cap part. #4 isn't terrible to start off with.

    Yeah, I'm sure the next couple years they won't get to a top 3 pick as well. A lot of teams worked very hard to be shitty and get the top pick. They don't wanna get dicked.

    they can get the 1's pick as soon as 2005... depending on their record of course... the NBA awarded them this because its something both Johnson and Belkin asked when negotiating dor a team... because they new they'd need a competative team quicker for tis market... and apparntly the NBA agreed... so they only have one yeah keeping them from the top lottery spot... other than that the weird salary cap is their only "bad" thing
