You won’t be hearing Oklahoma City mentioned in the running for LeBron James or Carmelo Anthony but they still seem interested in adding some nice talent.

Oklahoma City apparently had interest in C.J. Miles this summer but he ended up inking a four year deal with the Indiana Pacers before the thunder could get comfortable with handing someone those many years. They seem to have gotten comfortable though and have reached an agreement with Sebastian Telfair.
According to Chris Haynes from CSNNE.com, the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sebastian Telfair have agreed on a four year deal that isn’t expected to put too much of a dent in the Thunder’s salary cap situation.
"The free agent point guard and Oklahoma City Thunder have reached an agreement, league sources informed CSNNW.com.According to sources that requested to remain anonymous, the terms agreed to is for one-year at the veteran’s minimum after meeting with team officials and touring the city recently. The speedy guard has a career average of 7.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists. The Portland Trail Blazers took the high school phenom No. 13 overall in the 2004 NBA Draft."
There was talk on Wednesday of the Thunder possibly pursuing Pau Gasol but those rumors seem to be more of a wish and a hope than anything real. Still, the Telfair signing has come out of nowhere which means the Thunder are busy at work behind the scenes.
