"Could Shane Battier be headed to Oklahoma City?

If Kevin Durant had anything to say about it, the defensive ace would soon join the Thunder for this season.

Durant, using the social media site Twitter, on Sunday reached out to Battier, the former All-American and Naismith College Player of the Year at Duke who is now an unrestricted free agent.

"Hey @ShaneBattier, just wanted to see how you were doing and what size jersey you wear and also do u still want no. 31?" Durant wrote.

Battier, 33, is entering his 11th NBA season. He ended last season with Memphis, his second stint with the Grizzlies after four-plus seasons as a member of the Houston Rockets. Battier was last seen tag-teaming with former Oklahoma State guard Tony Allen to supply stellar defense on Durant, the league's two-time scoring champion, in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs."
