In this installment of the best value teams in the NBA, we have gotten to a point where the worst teams (yes, the Clippers are still the worst) have a cost per win of under $3 million. This must mean that as the season goes a long, none of the teams are separated by as much as it might seem.
The best improvement in their rankings this week were the Bucks and Rockets (both +4).
The biggest drop in rankings were the Pistons (-6), the Wizards (-5), and Lakers (-5).
