The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the best teams in basketball, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be quiet at the trade deadline. Just because the Thunder are in line to make a run at a Western Conference title, especially when Russell Westbrook returns, doesn’t mean that the team is closed off to trades, in fact the exact opposite is true.

According to Sam Smith from Bulls.com, the Thunder may get sneaky and make a last minute trade as the deadline approaches.

"Though the Thunder has done well, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a move as they can see themselves close again to winning. We’ve only got a few days to wait."

There have been rumblings recently about the Thunder making a move from acquiring Evan Turner, to signing Rudy Fernandez or possibly even just standing pat. The names mentioned with the Thunder vary, but their intentions seem obvious.

The only question is will they pull the trigger or are they confident in what they have?
