I was flipping through NBA.com and found an interview with Bernie Bickerstaff on it. Talks about NBA draft, expansion draft, and numerous other things. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Do you think Emeka Okafor will be available at number two? I think there are some vacillations between number one in terms of whether it will be (Dwight) Howard or Okafor, but the one thing that I?m real clear about now is that we will be pleased starting our basketball team with either one of those young men. I think they represent what we would like to become in terms of character, competitiveness and the talent. Will you take the big salary guys in the Expansion Selection and move them on to another team? It?s not likely at all, although we were very pleased in terms of the number of restricted free agents that were on the list. That means if we select them then they would become unrestricted, which would put us in a position that we would have flexibility in our roster. We could conceivably have taken one of those big players and brought back two or three players. But the key was that you want to bring back players that you like that could be around in the future. </div> Full Interview
