After the NBA Free Agency frenzy, we take a look at where each team in the NBA stands at this point in the summer in our latest Power Rankings

More from Sir Charles In Charge

After a fast and frenzy last couple of weeks, the NBA Free Agency period — which entailed an emoji war, a player committing and then de-committing and a high profile free agent selected to live in the state of Wisconsin instead of New York or California — is now just about over.

Sure, they are a few solid veteran free agents that haven’t found a new landing spot and new home for next season, but there aren’t any players still on the open market that will probably make a HUGE difference when the NBA gets back up and going.

In summary and to catch you up, we saw LaMarcus Aldridge take his talents south (not to the beach), Greg Monroe head to Milwaukee, DeAndre Jordan was a Dallas Mavericks and then he wasn’t, the Lakers and Knicks not catch any free agent fish and, as always, watch a bunch of stupid money get thrown around.

With all that movement, here is where the NBA stands at this point of the summer. Here are our post NBA free agency power rankings.
