OKC Thunder: TI editor power rankings week 16 – deadline week
30. team. 156. . 11-42. Previous: 28th. Cleveland Cavaliers
The Hawks and Suns sport numerous young assets forming their building blocks for the future. At this stage it’s a fight to land in the bottom three spots by four squads and while the Cavaliers can rant about wanting to win it’s clear it would behoove them not to.
The mystery around Kevin Love‘s return was put to rest when he returned in week 17 conveniently after the trade deadline passed.
Moving forward it should be interesting to see how Love deals with the mandate of losing in order to capture one of those bottom three lottery spots.
