Pacers Sign Mac McClung, Waive James Wiseman (Reaction Podcast)

from Setting The Pace: A Pacers Podcast · host Tyler Chin

On today's episode of Setting The Pace, Alex Golden is joined by Brett Evans to discuss the Pacers singing of Mac McClung and the waiving of James Wiseman. The guys discuss why the Pacers went with Wiseman as the man to be waived and what it is about Mac McClung that brings some level of intrigue as this team continues to battle injuries.Later, Alex and Brett discuss the Wiseman waiving, and what it means for the center rotation moving forward. Brett shares his opinion on who the Pacers best fit at the center is with this group, why he thinks they need to make a trade for a starting caliber center to pair with Hali next season, and what that would cost the Pacers. Then, the guys look WAY into the future and discuss the potential cap issues that would come with a Benn Mathurin extension. What a Mathurin extension would mean for other players, would Aaron Nesmith be willing to come off the bench and would Mathurin sign a long-term contract if not promised a starting 5 next season. This leads to the discussion of whether or not trading Mathurin for a center makes more sense roster construction wise and what team out West could be a potential partner for the Pacers.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
