Show notes

Alex Golden and Michael Davis Facci are back for an awesome September Mailbag Podcast!

Questions

Aaron H - Who are your top 3 wings that you realistically think (or would want) the Pacers could acquire in a trade?
Christopher Lloyd - Does Isaiah Jackson hold potential to be the Pacers' long-term solution at center?
Jeff Kew - Pacers showed they’re willing to get into restricted free agency with the Ayton situation. If there’s one or two RFA’s next offseason you think the Pacers could go for, who would it be?
Brett - Should Boomer have to change his number since Bennedict took it?
DonTrell - Do you think PG 13 will return to the pacers in 2025 as He will be an UFA ?
Matt Peck - Would you be open to a trade that would bring in a young veteran small forward that would improve the record (say low 30’s) or would you prefer to just continue with the potential higher draft pick. By young veteran I mean someone in same age group no older than 26.
Dalton Chubb - Hey guys! My question is, what do you think our win Total will be?
Architext - *Assuming* (pretty big assumption I know) Brissett and Turner are on the pacers after the trade deadline. Where you place odds that each is signed and extended before the end of the season and for how much?
Richard 1) a projected minute break down per position 2) who would you project Indy would protect if there was an expansion draft 3) what is the answer to the lack of rebound, no one on the team has ever averaged over 7.6 rpg
True_Love - with the addition of Donovan Mitchell, is the central division the toughest in the East? Do you think the Pacers make playoffs or play in?
Hoca Bombus Gringo - What are some stats/predictions for the roster next season?
TheManWithSomeGoals - What inspires us to be fans of a team with the likelihood of never making us happy in our lifetime?
Come On Sonny - How good would Tyrese have to be to win MIP? He averaged 15/8 last season, is 20/10 enough? Also, what would Turner have to show on the court this season for the Pacers to give him a big contract?
Pacer Faithful - If you could pick any Pacer (past and present) to have dinner with, who would it be and why?
Jason - If Myles wasn't injured at the trade deadline last year, would he have been dealt over Sabonis or would both have been moved?
Chris - When do you think the Pacers will release their throwback jerseys for this year and what do you think they'll be?
