2014-15 NBA Power Rankings: How Every Team Stacks Up After 7 Weeks of Action

That rumbling you're feeling beneath your feet? That's just the NBA landscape shifting during the heart of the holiday season.

The Dallas Mavericks scored an early Christmas gift—or a timely one for Hanukkah, in the case of team owner Mark Cuban—by reeling in Rajon Rondo from the Boston Celtics. On the flip side, the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat all stumbled upon lumps of coal in their stockings, in the form of injuries to Andrew Bogut, Jabari Parker, Josh McRoberts and Chris Bosh.

The Association should see plenty more gift-giving, White Elephant and otherwise, in the weeks to come now that every player who signed a new contract over the summer can be traded. The continued separation between buyers and sellers on the court and on the market figures to facilitate that activity, as well.

But before we get caught up in too many holiday metaphors (we'll save some of those for next week), let's take some time to rank the NBA from top to bottom, based on how each team is doing and what sort of roster each is working with.
