Yesterday, the Chicago Bulls won the NBA Draft Lottery despite not having any winning lottery combinations. What happened, was we mistakenly grabbed the envelope labeled “1″ from last year. While we admit the error, the ruling on the court stands, and the results will be unchanged.

It was difficult to feel bad for the Knicks when I was stealing their picks as a result of ripping off Isiah Thomas, but this situation is different. While my greatest sympathy goes out for the Knicks franchise, we are going to keep the pick and not give it back. Well, actually, we are going to keep all options open, except giving the pick back to the Knicks, and could possibly trade the pick.
