Trawling on the internet today looking for details on player moves, I came accross a nice article regarding projected win totals for NBA Teams. It is similar to Bill James's Pythagoram theory in MLB.

I will post the projections here for the teams. Bearing in mind there are a fixed amount of wins possible 1189, the formula comes up with 1189.9 wins. I thought this was quite accurate so will just post the numbers here.

Sacramento 63.7
LA Lakers 63.3
San Antonio 61.4
New Jersey 55.5
Dallas 54.3
Minnesota 52.1
Seattle 51.3
Portland 51.1
Boston 49.1
Detroit 48.5
Philadelphia 47.0
Orlando 46.4
New Orleans 44.6
Utah 44.2
Indiana 42.0
Milwaukee 40.3
LA Clippers 39.6
Toronto 39.5
Phoenix 38.5
Washington 36.0
Miami 35.3
Cleveland 29.8
New York 27.1
Atlanta 26.5
Houston 24.5
Golden State 23.9
Denver 21.9
Memphis 17.5
Chicago 15.0

Anyone want to go on and discuss this topic further? What player moves may have an impact. Specifically in what areas would these players affect the way the Team Scores, and also on the defensive end of the Team.
