Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb review some of the turning point events from the moments those trades happened through the team recently completing Summer League play. Where do Michael Reinsdorf and Bryson Graham fit into that equation? Tiago Splitter and Caleb Wilson? The guys discuss which moments were most crucial to setting the Bulls on a better path forward.
