The Jimmy Butler drama is over. The Minnesota Timberwolves finally traded their disgruntled star on Saturday (with the deal set to become official on Monday), sending him to Philadelphia in exchange for Robert Covington and Dario Saric.

Now, Tom Thibodeau can get back to coaching basketball, Karl-Anthony Towns can get back to restoring his reputation as one of the best young players in the league, and the rest of us can get back to ... more discord, apparently.

Taking the place of Butler and the Wolves in the headlines are Carmelo Anthony and the Rockets, who are reportedly in the process of parting ways, with the Rockets sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference and Anthony having registered a team-worst minus-63 in his first season as a reserve.

The Rockets and Wolves (and Sixers) have time to figure things out, but we are getting closer to that 20-game mark in which the standings start to mean something. How many wins a team picks up in its first 20 games can tell you a lot about its chances of making the postseason. Over the last 15 (82-game) seasons, only one of the 47 Western Conference teams that won fewer than eight of their first 20 games went on to make the playoffs.

Dig into some of the stats from the Week 5 edition of the Power Rankings.

In the East, the 12-1 Toronto Raptors could probably start selling playoff tickets right now, and they're back at No. 1 in the rankings, with a five-game winning streak and with some other top teams suffering losses last week.
