James Harden is the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year, but OKC might not be able to afford him after next season. (US Presswire) The Charlotte Bobcats are eyeing the possibility of dealing the No. 2 overall pick in a trade that would bring a more established player, multiple sources t old CBSSports.com. Rod Higgins and Rich Cho understand that the Bobcats need more than just a tal ented rookie, whether it be Bradley Beal, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Harrison Bar nes, Thomas Robinson or even Andre Drummond -- to make the Bobcats competitiv e from their laughingstock of a season. One source said that Oklahoma City's James Harden could be in play due to the Thunder's salary situation following next season. GM Sam Presti already has Ke vin Durant and Russell Westbrook on the books for more than $29 million next s eason -- and both Harden and Serge Ibaka will command huge contracts after th e 2012-13 campaign. Charlotte was an NBA-worst 7-59 this past season and there is no clear-cut sec ond overall pick behind Anthony Davis, who will be taken by New Orleans with t he No. 1 selection on June 28. Beal and Barnes can both help Charlotte on the offensive end while Kidd-Gilchr ist and Robinson would bring a toughness, especially on the defensive end. Dru mmond is a high-risk choice despite his physical tools. None of these players is considered a franchise-changer -- and that's why the Bobcats would prefer to deal the pick and land an established player such as H arden, who could come in immediately and make an impact. 山猫正在寻找交易榜眼签的机会 目前看上雷霆的James Harden 山猫想用榜眼签来跟雷霆换Harden --
