OKC Thunder: TI editor power ranking week 9: The shuffle is on

Of the squads in the cellar portion of my ranking, Cleveland has the weakest pool of youthful talent. Unless you consider Rodney Hood and Jordan Clarkson anything more than nice reserves Collin Sexton and Cedi Osman are (aside from potentially Love) the only untouchables.

As Love nears a return to the court (mid-January) fans may get hints of Cleveland’s plan for the offseason. If they don’t bring Love back immediately it’s a hat tip they are quietly tanking.

J.R. Smith is on the shopping block, but will Coby Altman add names to this list?

Interesting times in ‘The Land’.
