However, they have not committed to anything, and they are also interested in possibly acquiring Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter.
The Thunder are in serious need of an upgrade at center since Kendrick Perkins has been underwhelming during most of his five-year tenure with the team.
Kanter has developed into a solid big man since being drafted third overall by the Jazz in 2011, as he averages 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
Playing with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook is sure to boost his production if he goes to Oklahoma City.
Yahoo! Sports NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported on the latest Thunder trade rumor on Twitter.
Sources: OKC hasn’t committed to Lopez deal, and there’s still another center that they’ve had talks about acquiring: Utah’s Enes Kanter.
