    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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jarace Likely to Be Traded? + The Perfect Trey Murphy Trade Package (Mailbag Pt. 3)
Q: Would the Pacers consider someone like Dalton Knecht if he was available?
The hosts express skepticism about Knecht getting minutes on a current, strong Pacers team and suggest that development opportunities would be limited; they imply it would be more plausible if the team were in a rebuild or mid-market scenario.
Pacers Expectations, Breakout Candidates & T.J.’s Future Ft. Bob Kravitz
Q: Do you think the Pacers should have pushed harder in free agency or stayed the course with smart, smaller moves?
The guests suggest that the Pacers were cap-constrained and that upgrading on a rookie or making big splashes might not have been feasible, so they favor a pragmatic, cost-conscious approach with solid fits like Nance and Oubre.
Chad Buchanan Interview Pt. 2: Haliburton, Zubac & the Pacers' Future
Q: What is the plan for handling Haliburton's return and the lineup with him back?
The plan emphasizes patient ramp-up, monitoring by medical staff, and a belief that Haliburton will be back to contribute fully, with the understanding that it will take time to regain rhythm and conditioning.
Indiana Fever Midseason Review with Pat Boylan
Q: What is your feel for where the team is currently at this season?
Pat expresses that the Fever are in a good spot at midseason, with the offense leading and defense improving, while acknowledging the volatility of small sample sizes but emphasizing sustainable trends and leadership from the core players.
Will Herb Simon Finally Pay the Tax? | Mailbag Pt. 3
Q: If the Pacers use the full mid-level exception, how much tradable salary would they have at the deadline? And who could they target?
Using the full mid-level would still keep the team near the luxury tax line, but strategic trades and waivers could create roughly $14-15 million in tradable space, allowing moves such as trading core players or freeing up room by moving contract-heavy pieces, though it would be challenging to balance a competitive roster with minimums and other roster rules.
