2018 NBA Power Rankings: Have the Cleveland Cavaliers figured it out?
17. LA Clippers (30-26)
After not finding a trade offer for DeAndre Jordan to their liking, the LA Clippers elected to roll the dice and keep the all-star caliber big man. Jordan will now have to decide whether to opt in for one more year with the Clippers, or test the open market.
This was an interesting decision considering that many expected the Clippers to begin a long rebuild. This move, along with re-signing Lou Williams suggests that perhaps a rebuild might not be coming after all.
