From NBA.com, a story on the Bobcats draft.
http://www.nba.com/bobcats/news/expansion_draft.html
This paragraph has the basic info.
Charlotte will receive lists from each of the 27 teams not competing in the NBA Finals 10 days prior to the scheduled Expansion Draft (June 12) and those from the competing teams in the Finals within two days of the conclusion of the Finals. Team lists will designate a maximum of eight protected players for that team’s players under contract or restricted free agents for the 2004-05 NBA season. The unprotected players are eligible for selection by the Bobcats, who will draft a minimum of 14 players from NBA rosters.

Here's a look at the Warrior's roster.
Nick Van Exel
Erick Dampier
Avery Johnson
Clifford Robinson
Adonal Foyle
Mike Dunleavy
Speedy Claxton
Evan Eschmeyer
Jason Richardson
Mickael Pietrus
Troy Murphy
Calbert Cheaney
Popeye Jones
Brian Cardinal
Rusty LaRue
Of the 15 Warrior's, 10 are signed for next season & 5 are listed as free agents, none restricted. Van Exel & Dampier both have "player options" & both have talked about playing else where next year. Given the coin they would be giving up, it would be a tough call. However, we are talking about playing for Golden State so anything is possible.
The Warrior's under contract for the 04-05 season.
Nick Van Exel -------- $11,821,750
Erick Dampier -------- $8,105,500
Clifford Robinson ----- $5,280,000
Mike Dunleavy -------- $3,565,080
Speedy Claxton ------- $3,300,000
Evan Eschmeyer ------ $3,103,800
Jason Richardson ----- $3,534,018
Mickael Pietrus -------- $1,785,960
Troy Murphy ----------- $2,231,808
Popeye Jones ---------- Not Listed
Golden State's free agent list.
Avery Johnson
Adonal Foyle
Calbert Cheaney
Brian Cardinal
Rusty LaRue
Going with the 10 guys listed above, here is the Warrior's version of the now famous "no brainers" list.
Dampier, Dunleavy, Claxton, Richardson, Pietrus & Murphy.
That's 6 out of the 8 they can protect.
Cliff Robinson should be player #7. Next year will be the final year of his contract & he really isn't that highly over paid. Not even close to what the Bobcats would be looking for in a player anyway. He would only get selected as trade bait to a team with a weak front line but most likley will make the Warrior's list.
That last spot comes down to Van Exel, Eschmeyer or Jones.
Van Exel is getting up there in years, has injury issues & makes big big money.
The same could be said for Popeye Jones, except the money part that is.
Eschmeyer started to show a little promise in his 2nd season at Jersey before being shipped off to Dallas where he was never heard of again. He has 3 more years on his deal. He keeps having his knee operated on, not good for a young big man. Dampier finally came around so maybe there is hope for him down the road.
Even with his legs & mega contract I think the Warriors will give Van Exel that last spot. He is the most tradeable player of the 3 & when healthy, by far the most talented.
That leaves Evan Eschmeyer & Popeye Jones available for Charlotte.
No question that the Bobcats will not take Eschmeyer. 6-11 250, in his 5th season with 3 more on his contract, making in the neighborhood of 3.1, 3.4 & 3.7. He is having knee problems that don't seem to be getting much better. He would be too big a risk for the Bobcats.
Jone's is plenty affordable enough, Hoops Hype doesn't list his salary for next season but if what he is listed at this year is correct ($1,070,000), then he should be around 1.2 next year. It's the age thing that gets in his way, he turns 34 just before the expansion draft.
The regular draft looks top have plenty of big guys available with the 4th pick I look for the Bobcats to go big at #4 & pass on the Warriors players.
Charlotte does not select a player from Golden State.
Here is the Expansion Draft as of now.
Atlanta ------------- No Pick
Boston --------- C - Kedrick Perkins
Chicago ------------ No Pick
Cleveland ----- G - Kevin Ollie
Dallas ---------- G - Tony Delk
Denver --------- F - Ryan Bowen
Detroit -------------- No Pick
Golden State ------ No Pick
