Nbadraft.net confirms Lakers have Bobcats 38th pick.

I don't know if this is official or not, but it at least it's something.
Now the focus shifts on what we can do with a high 2nd round pick.
Maybe we can package picks 38 and 58 for a 1st rounder, or maybe
we can pick up a couple of steals. The current mock draft has us
getting Richard Roby, a 6'6'' shooting guard. He's fairly servicable,
and plays a game reminicent of Allan Houston. We need help at the
point and an athletic swingman at the SG/SF position. Unless a
bonafide stud comes landing into our laps, I'd like to see Mitch
use some ingenuity with our picks, if possible. Alas, I digress,
the playoffs are upon us, and I think I speak for all the Lakers fans
when I say, KICK SOME A___ LAKERS!

I'm pretty sure I could take him one on one, and i'm only 6'2'', 210lbs. If he punches like he shoots free throws, then he'll be missing all day long.

Apparently (according to Emplay though I read it 3rd party) the pick was originally for the '08 2nd rounder but when we made the Jumaine Jones trade with Charlotte it was amended to '09.

That is why you can google the topic and find official press releases from the Bobcats saying it is '08. At one point it was.

That said, I imagine it's something they could renegotiate at draft time if it interested both parties.
