It's strange having the NBA trade deadline so close to the All-Star break. The mid-season break provides a natural checkpoint to take stock of where every team sits, and yet -- especially given the monumental activity around this year's deadline in both quantity and quality of players -- a lot of teams will look vastly different over the final two months of the season.

The NBA’s balance of power is as dynamic as ever. This season has already brought seismic shifts thanks to blockbuster trades and the development of the league's brightest stars.

The wildest trade deadline ever has passed, so it's time to reassess — though everyone is still chasing the Thunder and Cavaliers.
