Plenty of players have changed zip codes in the weeks following the NBA lockout. Here are five who'll have the most positive impact on their new teams . . .
Scottie Pippen, Bulls to Rockets. Simply the best player to make a move.
Latrell Sprewell, Courtroom to Knicks. He'll make or break the Knicks.
Joe Smith, Warriors to T-Wolves. Should rediscover his game in better atmosphere.
Steve Kerr, Bulls to Spurs. San Antonio was a perimeter gunner away from causing the Jazz real problems.
Derek Harper, Heat to Lakers. Will provide veteran leadership Lakers have needed.
. . . And the five who'll have the least:
Derrick Coleman, Sixers to Hornets. Where he goes, mediocrity follows.
Brent Barry, Heat to Bulls. The next MJ? Only if MJ stands for "missed jumpshot."
Sam Perkins, Sonics to Pacers. Indiana thinks it got a backup center.
Greg Anthony, Blazers to Sonics. Quick: Name Gary Payton's last 3 backups.
Whoever the Jazz sign for that 12th roster spot.
