    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.

Can Jarace Be the Bench Scorer? + Nembhard’s Role | Pacers Mailbag Pt. 1
Q: Do you think Jarace can be the sixth man scoring punch off the bench next season?
No, not a reliable sixth man scorer at this stage; he's more of a long-term, development-focused player who may fit as a bench piece in a complementary, catch-and-shoot or off-ball role rather than a primary scoring option off the bench.
