Oklahoma City Thunder Trade Rumours: Kanter return, interest in Taurean Prince and more

#2 Enes Kanter is a buyout target

New York Knicks v Denver Nuggets

Ever since Enes Kanter had a public falling out with the New York Knicks, the Turkish center has been linked with a return to Oklahoma City.

Kanter represented the Thunder between 2015 and 2017, although the center was sacrificed as part of the deal with the Knicks that bought Carmelo Anthony to OKC.

While the Knicks are still looking to trade Kanter ahead of the deadline, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that a buyout is likely:

As the Knicks run out of time to find a trade for center Enes Kanter and his $18.6M expiring deal, discussions on a contract buyout are expected to begin as soon as the deadline passes on Thursday at 3 PM ET, league sources tell ESPN.

Kanter still has a good relationship with the Thunder organization, and there is no doubting that the 26-year-old will be an attractive option if he is available on a minimum deal.
