--Milwaukee: Charlie Villanueva and Tyronn Lue have recently been rumored to be on the move, with the Thunder named as a potential landing spot. The 6-foot-11 Villanueva creates mismatches with his inside-outside game, while Lue is a savvy veteran point guard who knocks down open shots and is a tough on-ball defender.
--Toronto: Anthony Parker and former Oklahoma State standout Joey Graham were reportedly included in a package that would have sent Earl Watson to the Raptors, and now former No. 1 pick Andrea Bargnani is reportedly on the trading block as well. The Thunder could use Parker and Bargnani's perimeter shooting and Graham's defense and toughness.
--Utah: With an abundance of shooting guards, and the Jazz potentially scrambling to re-sign big men Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap this summer, sharpshooter Kyle Korver could be made available at a bargain price.
--Detroit: Arron Afflalo and Amir Johnson are young players who fill two pressing needs for the Thunder on the wing and in the post. The Pistons are high on Johnson, but the Thunder could sweeten the deal with a future draft pick.
--New Jersey: Oklahoma product Eduardo Najera plays with a toughness and defensive mindset the Thunder sorely lacks. Swingman Jarvis Hayes is a 3-point threat who could help off the bench.
--Denver: Denver has talked to Oklahoma City about possibly acquiring Chris Wilcox , Nick Collison or Joe Smith

Speculation is stuff I find, not my own.
Lots of talk out there. One thing is for sure, it appears that this is going to be a busy lead up to the trading deadline.
It's funny, in the videogame NBA 2K9, I traded Eddie House and Bill Walker for Kyle Korver on my Celtics roster.
I don't like Kyle Korver. He looks too much like Ashton Kuscher. That and that 3 he hit a few years ago to beat the Celtics.
