The Nets have nabbed the #1 pick in the lottery, meaning they'll almost
surely take Kenyon Martin if his medical report is sound. Martin, Marbury
and Van Horn is a good trio to build on. But last time they had the #1
pick they took Derrick Coleman - not a wise pick.
Vancouver and the Clippers were #2 and #3 respectively, and the Bulls were
#4, meaning they'll probably have a shot at Chris Mihm, if that is who they
actually settle on to help Elton Brand up front. The Magic pick #5, #10,
and #13, and between that and possible free agents signings means it is very
possible that even more roster moves will occur (last season they had a
phenomenal number of moves and trades). Corey Maggette may figure in those
talks.
The Bulls also have the #7 pick. Here's the breakdown for the lottery.
No. 1 - New Jersey Nets
No. 2 - Vancouver Grizzlies
No. 3 - Los Angeles Clippers
No. 4 - Chicago Bulls
No. 5 - Orlando Magic
No. 6 - Atlanta Hawks
No. 7 - Chicago Bulls
No. 8 - Cleveland Cavaliers
No. 9 - Houston Rockets
No. 10 - Orlando Magic
No. 11 - Boston Celtics
No. 12 - Dallas Mavericks
No. 13 - Orlando Magic
