Shaun (Madison WI): Doesn't Isiah Thomas still have to attend the lottery because as of right now all the Bulls have is the option of swapping picks ... what would happen if the #1 pick was the Knicks' envelope?

Bill Simmons: I've been wondering how they'll do this. The NBA should make a rule that, if you make a "swap picks" trade, you still have to represent your "pick" at the lottery ... how great would it be if the Knicks got No. 1 and we had to watch Isiah's forced smile as his temples pulsated?
