Lottery Odds

OK, T-minus one day before the day Jim Buss said that you can stop holding your breath and start looking for the Lakers to start making some offseason moves. Buss intimated last week in a radio interview that things would heat up after the NBA Lottery is held on May 22nd. That's Tuesday.

Memphis has the best chance to win the lottery with 250 chances out of 1,000. Boston has 199, Milwaukee has 156, Atlanta has 119 and Seattle has 88.

One team you've really got to watch is Atlanta. The Hawks keep their pick if it's between 1-3, but lose it to Phoenix as part of the Joe Johnson trade if its 4 or above.
