Rumor: Warriors Not Trading JRich for Bobcats' #8 Pick (Yi Jianlian)

It seems like a pretty well held assumption that the Bobcats will not be holding onto their lottery pick this year. Their reasoning is fairly solid- why get any younger especially when the team already has a young set of players and so much cap space to play around with? It looks as if the Warriors swung a deal with buddy Higgy and the Bobcats it would not involve Jason Richardson. From Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer:

Interesting a deal as it might have been, you can back off the speculation that Golden State Warriors guard Jason Richardson is headed to the Bobcats.  I know from a great source that the Warriors aren't moving Richardson to Charlotte to make a trade for Chinese pro Yi Jianlian happen. It is true that Yi could be slipping in the draft, and that's because he or his representatives are limiting where he'd agree to sign. I'm told he's reluctant to play anywhere east of Chicago, and last I checked Charlotte was East of the Windy City. That's limiting the teams willing to risk a high pick on him, which means he's a top-5 talent who could slip to 10 or lower.

Are you interested in the Bobcats' #8 pick? Any good deals you can assemble?

yeah, if it clears cap space.
though, outside of oden & durant, the only player, imo, worth trading up for is horford.

i'd actually like to see them trade #18 down to phoenix for #'s 24 & 29  to take marco belinelli & nick fazekas or jared dudley then at #36 take petteri koponen. lastly, herbert hill at #46.

another j-rich trade idea
What about J-rich and like a 2nd rd pick for Jermaine O'neal. I'm not sure if the money works but I think O'neal is the most likely good player to be traded on draft day. O'neal and Andris defending the rim sounds very promising. I might consider giving them our 1st rd pick if a 2nd rd pick wasn't good enough.

ok
money doesnt work, it would only work if they would take pob and sarunas back in the deal as well.
