Season 12 Pre-Season Power Rankings

Spring training is under way in Season 12 and the off-season player acquisition period has ended.  With the regular season just around the corner, now is good time to take our best shot at ranking the teams going into the season.  Some big trades were made, and a few nice free agents were signed.  Nonetheless, the # 1 team still remains Oklahoma City, who looks poised for another strong season, continuing their streak of being # 1 in every edition of the rankings produced.  Let's see how the rest of the rankings fall.  Good luck to everyone in moving up once the season starts!
