re: James harden no longer to Bobcats?

I wanna know who said he would be the best two guard in the league within two years

I said he and Gordon would be the two best a few years down the line (not withing two years) and stand by it. The only clearly better 2s are Kobe and Wade, and they're 35 and 30, respectively. They're going to slow down, and besides Ginobli, Gordon and Harden are next in line.

I would still trade the #2 pick for him if I were Charlotte. I'm not going to let a horrendous playoff performance sour me on a guy that has been an excellent player. They have no other talent and won't be able to attract anyone there. I doubt Beal/MKG/Robinson are ever as good as Harden.
