Light rumors can always help us grow, but if they become more than talk they could tear teams apart little by little. Here are the top five free agent rumors for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the month of June.

5. Mike Dunleavy Leaving Chicago For OKC?

These rumors are pretty light to begin with, but Mike Dunleavy could leave Chicago for a chance at helping Kevin Durant and company with winning a title in Oklahoma City. He made 41 percent from beyond the arc last year, which was tied for 10th in the league. The Thunder could really use services like that, and he would be a great backup behind Durant. He cost a little over $ 3.3 million last year, so OKC can afford him.

Veteran Alan Anderson has a player option of $ 1.3 million with the Brooklyn Nets, but it is very likely, according to an inside source, that he will explore free agency instead. After making the minimum most of his career, Anderson would welcome a change. His grit would be welcomed in Oklahoma City, as he could become one of those role players to help OKC win a championship.

3. Kyle Singler Will Be Back With OKC

This is the most likely scenario of coming true, but Kyle Singler is in a good place with Oklahoma City. He might've been a part of a mid-season trade last year, but his services are well liked by GM Sam Presti. Plus, with the cap situation the way it is for the Thunder, Singler might just be the best option. He's cheap, shoots well from beyond the arc and plays a very well-rounded game.

With LeBron James leaving to go home last year, as well as Kevin Durant exploring the option of going home next year, Russell Westbrook wants that same opportunity in L.A. when the 2017 offseason begins. He'll be a free agent by then, and there has always been some speculation that Durant and Westbrook have had a strange level of friendly competition between the the two. Plus, coach Byron Scott loves Westbrook's style.

Kevin Durant will be a free agent in 2016, and who's to say he doesn't want to return home as well? With real changes happening in Oklahoma City, as well as the Western Conference getting tougher and tougher, the Washington Wizards are the front-runner to receive the services of Durant come next offseason. With rising star John Wall at the helm, they could form their own Big 3 in Washington.

James Harden Decided Against Contesting Russell Westbrook's Dunk

James Harden clearly isn't worried about what people think of his defensive inefficiencies. He proved this to be the case on Tuesday night, as he inexplicably gave Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook a clear lane to the basket after he turned the ball over during this sequence. Harden's a spectacular scorer, but he will likely never give enough effort on both ends to be a Hall of Famer.
