NBA Lottery Winners

The biggest winner is a no-brainer - Portland moves up to the #1 spot and gets a guaranteed stud to go w/ Brandon Roy (2006 ROY), Zach Randolph, and a couple other young guys up in the great Northwest.  Seattle is also a winner, because they're guaranteed one of the top players - Greg Oden or Kevin Durant.  Despite picking #3 (who else is there to pick?), the Hawks actually won, because they get to keep their pick instead of Phoenix getting it as part of the Joe Johnson trade.  The Bulls are also winners, since they made the 2nd round of the playoffs and still get a Top 10 pick (from the Eddy Curry trade).

NBA Lottery Losers

The teams that tanked... Boston and Memphis both dropped out of the Top 3 picks, but seriously, after the #2 pick, they lose no matter what.  There's no one else that can help these teams out immediately.
