The Golden State Warriors traded veteran guard Jason Richardson to the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday night for the rights to North Carolina forward Brandan Wright, the eighth overall pick.
Charlotte also got the rights to Alabama forward Jermareo Davidson, Golden State’s choice with the 36th selection.
“I’ll miss Jason, of course,” Mullin said. “He’s one of my favorite players in the league … but we feel good about Brandan coming in. That doesn’t make it any easier.”
