UPDATE BUMP:

David Aldridge: Source: Bobcats have five legit offers they're currently exploring to trade the second pick overall in tonight's NBA Draft. Twitter

There are offers we don't even know about...I for one expect something rather unexpected tonight.

[God]

we seriously need to trade the pick. cho needs to pull some houdini poo off

[GotSwag?]

Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Who knows what will happen but it sure is going to be fun to watch.

[themikestrick]

I think the offers are something like this. (just my opinion/no "inside information")

1.Cavaliers trade #4 and #24 to Bobcats for #2

2. Thunder trade James Harden, 28th pick this year and future 1st round for DeSagna Diop and #2 pick

3. Lakers trade Pau Gasol and future 1st round pick for DeSagna Diop, Tyrus Thomas, and #2 pick

4. Some trade offer from Houston who want a high pick so they can go after Dwight Howard.

5. ?

I'm good with #1 but don't want Harden or Gasol

[Chaos]

With Harden, wouldn't we have a potential problem if he didn't want to resign here?

[cavic7585]

I think it would, I dont see Harden coming here.

[Hate]

Looks like the Cavs have moved back to trade talks with the Horntes (highly unlikely to happen).

Cleveland did offer the Hornets the fourth pick, the 24th pick, the 33rd and 34th pick and got hung up on. I'm told they would put Tristan Thompson (their no. 4 pick last year) in the deal, too. Nothing. Even if they offered Kyrie, I don't think the Hornets budge. Big men like Anthony Davis come along once or twice a decade. I think there's only three players in the NBA right now that teams WOULDN'T trade for Davis: LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul. Normally Dwight Howard and Deron Williams would be in that discussion, too, and so would Derrick Rose. But with Howard and Williams threatening to bolt and Rose's injury woes, I think the Magic, Nets and Bulls would all pull the trigger.

Yeah but if we traded for him, we could offer him a max contract which is something Oklahoma City can't do. They can't afford Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka. They want to keep Ibaka and get a younger cheaper Harden type player who they think is Beal.

More Rumors:

Sources said Charlotte is seriously considering North Carolina small forward Harrison Barnes, too. But the smart money is on a trade. The Bobcats continue to talk with Cleveland about swapping No. 4 for No. 2, with Charlotte surely pushing for as many assets as possible to go with it (the Cavs have the 24th, 33rd and 34th picks). Houston (Nos. 12, 16 and 18) and Portland (Nos. 6 and 11) are trying to land the No. 2 pick as well, according to sources. SI.com

Sources say Minnesota offered Derrick Williams to Charlotte in exchange for the #2 pick. Bobcats quickly rejected.

[YoungPanthers89]

Come on okc! if we could get harden for the #2 pick that would be a victory imo...

[cavic7585]

I like the portland trade the best. Barnes,MKG, Robinson will be there at 6.

Sources said Charlotte's phones were burning up on Wednesday with teams trying to move up and grab the No. 2 pick. But those suitors have balked so far at having to take the aforementioned Tyrus Thomas, who has three years and $26 million remaining on his contract. SI.com
