Welcome to draft season — now get rid of them

The scoreboard at Wrigley Field celebrates the Blackhawks landing the first overall pick in the NHL Draft.

They got to the answer the wrong way — by making one of the worst NBA trades of the decade — but the Bulls will land in the right place Thursday: without a draft pick.

Drafts are the worst part about American sports. All drafts: not just the NBA version Thursday or the NHL one that a week later will hand-deliver the Blackhawks a generational prospect in No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard. The Major League Baseball draft 10 days after that — where the Cubs pick 13th and the White Sox 15th — is a bore.
