Seven ties among teams that finished the 2005-06 NBA regular season with identical records were broken today through random drawings to help determine the order of selection for NBA Draft 2006, which will be held on Wednesday, June 28 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The drawings were conducted live on NBA TV earlier today at the NBA League Office in New York City by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President, Basketball Operations. The results of the random drawings: Charlotte (26-56) won a tie-breaker with Atlanta Minnesota (33-49) won a tie-breaker with Boston Houston (34-48) won a tie-breaker with Golden State New Orleans/Oklahoma City (38-44) won a tie-breaker with Philadelphia Chicago (41-41) won a tie-breaker with Indiana (Bulls will select 16th overall) Sacramento (44-38) won a tie-breaker with Denver New Jersey (49-33) won a tie-breaker with Memphis For the first time in its 40-year history, the Chicago Bulls and general manager John Paxson did not own a single draft pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. (Phoenix owned the rights to Chicago?s first round pick, 21st overall, after the Suns and Bulls draft night trade two years ago that sent Jackson Vroman to Phoenix for Luol Deng and a future conditional first round selection.) This year, Chicago also owns the rights to New York's draft pick due to the Eddy Curry trade. The Knicks' pick will be no worse than the fifth overall selection.

Hey, I was wondering do the Bulls get the Knicks pick next year also? No matter where the Knicks finish?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MiamiBalla12:</div><div class="quote_post">Hey, I was wondering do the Bulls get the Knicks pick next year also? No matter where the Knicks finish?</div> yep. we can swipe their pick for our pick if paxson wants to.
Wow, all for Eddy Curry. HAHA. Well, this team is gonna be STRAIGHT after this draft. Deng, Gordon, Hinrich, and two picks in top 15. They could have those guys starting.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting taurus515th:</div><div class="quote_post">yep. we can swipe their pick for our pick if paxson wants to.</div> Yeah, Bulls just get the pick that's higher in the draft. Hopefully it will be the Knicks in the lottery again.
Yes, we certainly did cash in on Thomas. We're picking 2 and 16 this year and more than likely in the lottery again next year.
