Are Thunder trying to sign Kevin Durant and Al Horford?

NBA free agency begins tonight at 9:01pm PDT, and it appears the Thunder may have more in mind than just re-signing Kevin Durant.

Oklahoma City is reportedly looking to clear cap space, and rival executives believe it is an attempt to sign both Durant and Al Horford, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Thunder have called teams to shop Enes Kanter and Kyle Singler, according to the report.

Kanter is scheduled to make just over $17 million next year, while Singler is slated for a salary of almost $5 million.

Under a "max" contract with the Thunder, Horford would make an estimated $26.6 million in Year 1.

Horford, who turned 30 earlier this month, played for Oklahoma City head coach Billy Donovan in college, where the pair won back-to-back national titles at Florida.

According to multiple reports, the Thunder are meeting with Durant on Thursday in Oklahoma City before free agency opens.

Durant will reportedly meet with the Warriors and Clippers on Friday, the Spurs and Celtics on Saturday, and the Heat on Sunday.

Last week, the Thunder traded Serge Ibaka to the Magic for Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and the draft rights to No. 11 pick Domantas Sabonis.
