The NBA trade deadline came and went this past week, with only move really impacting the #SoleWatch Power Rankings. After a short stay in Cleveland, Isaiah Thomas was moved to the Los Angeles Lakers for a return of Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. A known supporter of Kobe Bryant, Thomas will now get to wear his favorite line of sneakers in the building where the Mamba crafted his legacy. Thomas makes an appearance in both unis this week.
Elsewhere, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler returned to Chicago on Friday, when he took the floor in Eminem's Carhartt x Air Jordan 4 collaboration. The limited edition retro has sold for as much as $30,000 in auctions and has settled into a value range of $15,000 - $20,000. Butler, who typically wears PE colorways of the Air Jordan 32 Low, has impressed with unexpected selections from the retro line as of late.
Find out where Thomas, Butler and more of the NBA's biggest sneakerheads landed in this week's rankings below.
