    Guys, been supporting you since your inception, super disappointed you’re taking on a gambling sponsor. I expect this of greedy corporations like the nba but it’s a major letdown when fan entities promote something that causes such exploitation and misery to so many people. It was a pleasure listening to you guys, ill definitely start listening again if you two decide to reverse course on this sellout

  • Mathurin takes

    Makes no sense to trade mathurin. Talent wins in this league. We saw how the Thunder won with way more talent than anyone else. Mathurin can be the second best player on this team potentially. Why trade star level talent like Mathurin for someone that is so called a better “fit.” We don’t make game 7 in the finals without Mathurin’s 27 in game 3. If anyone gets traded its walker or sheppard who cannot shoot.

Q: What do you think the chances are that James Johnson would end up on next season's roster?
I don't think that's likely; James might transition into coaching instead since the roster is already tight due to injuries.
Mailbag Pt. 4 | Backup PG Plan, Rick’s Role & Are The Pacers Really Tanking?

It's important to do something regarding the bench point guard since the current options haven't been reliable.
Mailbag Pt. 4 | Backup PG Plan, Rick’s Role & Are The Pacers Really Tanking?
Q: Given Tyrese's recovery and TJ's recent injury history at his age, should we prioritize a second-round point guard or a proven veteran?
They should target point guards that could make sense as their third-string point guard since we've seen many come through the system for the Pacers.
