Oklahoma City Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced today that the team has recalled center Byron Mullens from the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA Development League.
During his two assignments this season with Tulsa, Mullens has appeared in six games (six starts) and averaged 16.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots in 31.7 minutes per game.
The Celtics completed a surprising trade on Thursday when they sent center Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder for a package that included Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic.
The move left Boston somewhat depleted in the paint due to current injuries, but the move was one that executive Danny Ainge felt he needed to make for the long-term.
Perkins, who will become a free agent soon, was going to ask for roughly $10 annually, not a price Boston was going to pay for a center coming off major knee surgery. The Celtics offered Perkins four years and $22 million, but he was looking for about double that.
The move was similar from Oklahoma City's angle as well, as they may not have had the cap space or willingness to give Green the deal he'd desire.
Oklahoma City has acquired center Nazr Mohammed from Charlotte for D.J. White and Mo Peterson.
The Celtics have agreed to send Kendrick Perkins to the Thunder in exchange for a package built around Jeff Green.
Green and Perkins will both be free agents this offseason, while the former will be restricted.
Nenad Krstic and Nate Robinson will also be included in the deal.
Boston will also receive the 2012 first round pick of the Clippers from Oklahoma City.
Nene has been frustrated that he hasn't been offered a contract extension from the Nuggets, but that will quickly change, according to a source.
Nene's wife is from Denver and he prefers to remain with the Nuggets and not relocate.
The Heat, Rockets and Thunder have all inquired about his availability, according to sources.
Nene is seeking a five-year, $60 million deal that is comparable to extensions signed recently by Joakim Noah and Al Horford.
The Thunder are considering a trade for Hasheem Thabeet, according to league executives.
Thabeet was the number two overall pick in 2009, but has been shopped aggressively by the Grizzlies.
Oklahoma City would only acquire Thabeet if Memphis has a modest asking price.
Marc J. Spears is reporting that the Nuggets are also interested in Thabeet.
Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden will replace injured Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans (plantar fasciitis, left foot) on the Sophomore Team in the 2011 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge.

A number of teams are interested in Thunder forward Jeff Green, according to ESPN.com's Jeff Green.
"He's got a lot of value. A number of teams are interested. The Thunder are going to need a big man though ... that's what they're hunting for. There aren't a lot of them available right now," Ford wrote in a chat.
