Bulls vs. Blazers

Sean is braving it at Las Vegas Summer League so Erik called in writer and Chicago Bulls fan John Wilmes in an NBA pod free of actual Summer League analysis. Erik and John discuss the NBA's tampering investigation into the Bulls and the Miami Heat. They also discuss the Dame situation in Portland, the varying perceptions of the Lakers offseason, and Raptors group therapy sessions on Twitter Spaces. In the final half-hour, the guys get to what they really wanted to talk about: HBO Max's FBOY Island and Vanderpump Rules. We will get a debrief when Sean is back from Vegas.

Bulls vs. Blazers is a podcast hosted by Sean Highkin and Erik Garcìa Gundersen.
