Following the departures of Serge Ibaka and more prominently Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder are set for a season of rebuilding. 

It doesn't come as a surprise that they're reportedly already planning moves for players in 2017, whilst they also may not be done in the trade market this offseason as well.

The Thunder have been busy since their Western Conference Finals defeat, making a total of eight new roster additions, most notably Victor Oladipo from the Orlando Magic.

However, OKC are still in need of a real game changer, with several of their new signings expected to play backseat roles or even play in the D-League in the upcoming campaign.

Okla-home-a?

One of the most prominent trade rumours surrounding the Thunder would be a homecoming for the Los Angeles Clippers' Blake Griffin.

An OKC native, the 27-year-old also went to college in his home state before being drafted by the Clippers as the first pick in 2009. 

Griffin's current contract with the Los Angeles franchise expires next summer, giving him plenty to think about and the option of free agency.

His current side would be odds-on favorites to re-sign the power forward, but should he chose to ply his trade elsewhere, Oklahoma would be the most likely destination.

The Thunder have been linked with a possible trade this summer for Griffin too, who spent the majority of last season out after punching a member of the Clippers' equipment staff.

The deal would see Steven Adams and Oladipo go the other way, and with Doc Rivers' side needing some fresh young blood in their roster, the deal isn't completely unbelievable.

Jimmy Butler to move after all?

Prior to draft night Jimmy Butler's future was very much up in the air, with the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics among the teams reportedly looking to sign the rapidly-improving forward.

Following the Chicago Bulls' additions of Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade speculation cooled off, as Butler looked to instead lead the franchise into the future.

However rumours have once again gathered pace, with suggestions that the Thunder could make a 2017 move for the 2015 Most Improved Player of the Year, as they search for a superstar partner for Russell Westbrook.

Butler averaged 20.9 points per game last season as the Bulls narrowly missed the playoffs, and another disappointing season could persuade the 26-year-old to switch east for west.

OKC's most recent addition this offseason has been the arrival of Joffrey Lauvergne from the Denver Nuggets, with the Frenchman reportedly signing a two-year contract.

With the Thunder already stacked when it comes to big men, it's widely anticipated that Sam Presti will move one of them along before the start of the new season, with Mitch McGary the likely victim.

The 24-year-old averaged just over a point per game last season, with his playing time dropping from 15 minutes a game to just three.

McGary could be spared however, as Lauvergne's arrival could be due to reports that the Thunder could use Enes Kanter as possible leverage in future trades.

Billy Donovan has preferred to use Steven Adams in the five spot, leaving Kanter to be consistently linked with moves to other franchises.
