In our summer edition of our NBA Power Rankings, we reassess the league’s hierarchy after the NBA Draft and a wild Free Agency period

Since the Golden State Warriors dethroned the Cleveland Cavaliers in a quick five games in the 2017 NBA Finals, the league has quickly changed.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that it’s going to take the creation of a bigger and better super team to take out what the Warriors have assembled. And so far during this offseason, we’ve begun to see the new NBA. The NBA where having one or two really good to great players isn’t enough. A league where having LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love isn’t enough. And it’s absolutely insane.

The response through the first few weeks of the NBA’s offseason has been Paul George joining the OKC Thunder, Chris Paul forcing a trade to the Houston Rockets and Gordon Hayward heading East.

Where does the NBA stand after a wild couple of weeks? Let’s explore in the summer edition of our NBA Power Rankings.
