Give and Go: Are the Warriors better than the '95–96 Chicago Bulls? /

In the latest episode of Give and Go, SI.com senior writer Chris Mannix hosts fellow SI scribe Chris Ballard to discuss some of the biggest issues around the league. Among this week's topics of discussion...

• 2015–16 Warriors vs. 1995–96 Bulls. How do the two historic teams stack up? Who would win in a hypothetical match-up? Could Golden State's small-ball attack overwhelm Michael Jordan's most dominant Bulls team?

• Thunder trending up. Oklahoma City has been on a roll of late with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook both healthy. How has OKC looked two months in to the Billy Donovan era?

• Hassan Whiteside. The polarizing big man is set to his free agency this summer. What kind of contract can the Heat pivot expect? Will he stay in Miami?
