    Who are the other Lotto Teams
    and how good are we by comparison?

    EAST: Hawks, Wizards, Celtics, Cavs Bulls
    ? ?
    West: Golden State, Mavericks, Clippers,
    Grizz, Denver

    How good are we compared to them now?
    How about who has the brightest future/nucleus
    in place for the future?
    [this also makes me wonder who can keep the
    nucleus in place?]

    Interesting topic.

    I think the Hawks, Wizards, Cavs, Warriors and Clipps will all be bad for quite awhile.

    Celtics are borderline. If they can play to potential, maybe they can do something in the wweak East.

    Bulls could be good, if they land another good draft pick and a key FA like McGrady.

    Mavericks have some talent, but they have the DOn, so look for him to find a way to screw things up.

    Grizz could be good, if they can pick up a low post presence.

    Denver has some talent too, but they would have done much better if they could have found a way to keep Mercer. Couple of key acquisitions, and they could possibly make the playoffs.

    Rockets could fight for a playoff spot next season as well, if they can get more production from the paint, and pick up a star to compliment Francis in the draft or by trade, preferably a big man.
