NBA Power Rankings: Under-the-radar trade moves for all 30 teams

Our NBA insiders break down this week's Power Rankings, including obvious -- and not so obvious -- trade deadline moves for all 30 teams.

The NBA trade deadline is approaching, and all eyes are on the Oklahoma City Thunder and Cleveland Cavaliers, the top two teams in the league. Both teams have impressive winning streaks and All-Star talent, but off the court, the buzz is all about Jimmy Butler and what the Miami Heat will do with the disgruntled player. The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers got the trade action started in December, and with less than a month to go until the deadline, expect deals to pick up as teams jockey for postseason push or rebuilding plans. This week, we asked our NBA insiders to look at one trade option -- some sneaky, some less so -- for all 30 teams, whether it's to fill a glaring roster hole or add some depth ahead of the second half of the season. Here are the updated rankings for all 30 clubs.
