I can't remember but I think the Hornets (Bobcats) had to pick a full roster from other teams the last time there was an Expansion Draft. The Bobcats later signed free agents and traded players they had picked once free agency started though.
Anyway, we'll have to see what rules the NBA comes up with this time, with there possibly being 2 expansion teams added instead of 1.
