Welcome to another roundtable discussion here at Pippen Ain’t Easy. In this talk, we’ll discuss the NBA Finals, the 2017 NBA Draft and what the Chicago Bulls could be looking at this summer. Let’s get into it.

With the NBA Finals in the books after a historic performance from the Golden State Warriors and the 2017 NBA Draft just a few days away in Brooklyn, some of the guys here at Pippen Ain’t Easy and I sat down and discussed some topics.

Who am I? Well, I’m Mike Whitlow, the editor-in-chief here at PAE. I won’t be alone for this discussion. Joining me for this talk is PAE contributors Dru Berry, Patrick Sheetz, Bryce Fields, Willie Lutz and former co-editor here at PAE, Daniel Coughlin.

We hit a few different talking points, but instead of focusing on the Finals like we did in our previous discussion (which you can check out here), we hit on more Bulls-related topics, including Fred Hoiberg’s future in Chicago and the draft itself for the Bulls.

I asked the guys five different questions and they all gave me their responses that you’ll be able to read and discuss with our guys.

So, without any further delay, let’s get into our latest roundtable discussion here at PAE.
