The Spurs' upset of the Thunder in the NBA Cup has put Victor Wembanyama's squad back into the top of the NBA power rankings.

This week's power rankings heavily focus on trade talk on the day that 79 players who inked contracts this summer can be traded.

Victor Wembanyama could become the Thunder's greatest rival. That's what makes his hate for them so refreshing.

The Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder don't seem to be interested in making a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he becomes available.

Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder's record 16-game win streak with a 111-109 win in the NBA Cup semifinals.

The Hall of Famer has an emotional stake in the San Antonio Spurs, the team he helped win four championships, and this was before the Spurs played the behemoth from Oklahoma City in the semifinals. Let’s just say that, after the fact, that stake has now intensified.

As many remember, the Nuggets took the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference semifinals last postseason, being one of just two teams (the Indiana Pacers) to give them a real challenge on their way to a championship. What did the Nuggets do after that playoff loss? Build a better roster.

The Magic and Knicks square off first in a game that could provide fans a preview of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks and Magic are among the best teams in the East this season, with New York coming into the game on a four-game winning streak.
