Terms of the deal announced Wednesday weren’t disclosed.

Thabeet’s agent, Bill Duffy, said last week that the 7-foot-3 center agreed to a two-year guaranteed contract with the Thunder, but teams weren’t allowed to announce new signings until Wednesday.
Thabeet was the No. 2 pick in the 2009 draft by Memphis but has averaged only 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in limited playing time over the last three seasons with the Grizzlies, Houston and Portland.
Duffy said last week he believed the Thunder could provide a better fit for Thabeet.
In three seasons at Connecticut, Thabeet averaged 10.3 points on .611 shooting from the floor, 8.5 rebounds and 4.2 blocks in 100 games.
