The Thunder and Nets are discussing a larger package for the one-time All-Star center that includes guard Jeremy Lamb (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/5018/) and center Kendrick Perkins (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3730/) from the Thunder, league sources said. Young Thunder forward Grant Jerrett (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/5210/) has also been discussed as part of the package, sources said. More players need to be included to make the deal fit into the salary framework of a trade.


After acquiring guard Dion Waiters recently, Oklahoma City is trying to gear up for a run at the Western Conference championship with Lopez. General manager Sam Presti has long been a fan of Lopez, whom the Thunder considered selecting in the 2008 NBA draft at No. 4 overall. Presti chose Russell Westbrook with the pick instead.

At $16 Mil per, Lopez isn't a worth it. Enjoy that salary eating contract.

Woj: OKC is motivated to do a deal for him. They know they're on the clock with Durant. ... Even though the Nets just pulled back, I think they find a way to get a Lopez deal done.

The Harden trade continues to haunt OKC
