They haven't been linked to Haywood in any way, to my knowledge, and considering how little the Mavs had to take on and give up to get Haywood, it seems pretty nonsensical to state that a team is definitely going to make a run at Brendan Haywood in the off season, considering the sheer number of quality free agents that are going to hit the market this summer.

I don't think OKC had much to work with trade wise. To my knowledge they don't have any extremely friendly expirings, nor entertaining prospects to part with. Okc has made it clear that they need to upgrade their frontline, that is no secret. There is no question they are going to make a run at a center this off-season, so I'd be surprised if they didn't at least show some interest in Haywood.
