That's a pretty good idea. The Thunder have an established winner, which is the kind of environment that would best utilize JR. I think you're idea might have legs since they have a team that could win it all and may be unwilling to develop Jeremy Lamb (who I'm high on) and some of the pieces that you mentioned.

For a fiscal team like OKC it has to bug them to have 18mil in dead weight like Perkins and they have enough assets to not even blink if they gave up one or 2. If we dangled Tyson I wonder what they would be willing to offer?

Tyson is a bit of an overkill for us. I think his value is such that we can get assets back without taking on liability. OKC more than needs Tyson but I don't think they'd have the assets to get him.
