It's mainly about his frustrations with Golden State, but he seems to have accepted the trade fairly well after a few days. It looks like he'll be here a day early, too.

The part about the vacation explains why he hasn't come to Charlotte yet

Wow, he is an emotional guy. He just became a Bobcat and I already like him.

Here's the blog of the guy who did that interview along with a couple more tidbits, courtesy of a GSW fan on RealGM. A quick side note: The GSW fans have defined the word "CLASS" during this whole trade. They've posted in mass to the "JRich is officially a Bobcat" thread and the vast majority is sadness and congratulations for getting such a great player.

"I hope we get Gerald back," Richardson said. "Two athletic guys from the wing who play hard, that’s going to be crazy."

He especially heard Stephen A. Smith, who, let's just say, has an adversary from Saginaw, Mich. with his criticism of Charlotte in making the deal.

They were only five games outside of the playoffs. They’re young, but they have some guys who can play. All they need is some leadership and experience. I hope I can bring both."

He's already getting excited about the possibilities here in Charlotte. Guys, we got a STEAL here in JRich. I can't believe we were so lucky.
