NBA Draft 2012 Live Stream: How to Catch Selections and Trades Online

Trade talks are hot and heavy, and many of them center around the Charlotte Bobcats and the No. 2 pick. ESPN is reporting that the Bobcats are entertaining five offers for the pick.

Among those inquiring could be the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Bobcats are said to want James Harden in return, and the Thunder aren't willing to do that at this time, per Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld.

"

Oklahoma City likes Bradley Beal but Charlotte wants James Harden for the #2. It doesn't sound like OKC is willing to part ways with Harden.

Charlotte may have missed out on the No. 1 pick, but what happens with their pick will still determine the rest of the draft. I think they would do well to move the pick.

The roster is too far gone for any player in this draft to transform them into a playoff threat. Their best bet would be to move down.

They should be looking at adding some future picks. This team needs a ton of help and it will take at least two seasons to get this team to a respectable level.

Be sure to check out the draft on ESPN, and check back here for in-depth coverage and analysis.
