The Effects of Tanking in a Lost Season + Addressing the Center Spot via Trade

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

Alex Golden is joined by Derek Schultz to discuss the Indiana Pacers 6-30 start and how the effects of tanking can weigh on a team. Derek shares his thoughts on whether or not this lost season will have ripple effects for the future and what makes this so hard for veteran leaders like Pascal Siakam and a Hall of Fame level coach in Rick Carlisle. After that, the guys discuss if the Pacers should be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline and what Indiana should do with Benn Mathurin. To wrap it all up, Alex vents to Derek about the Colts mediocrity and Derek echoes the same frustration while layering on more thoughts to how awful Ballard's tenure truly has been.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
