    Nov 20 2024
    Alex Golden and Mike Facci answer about 6-7 mailbag questions for today's episode of Setting The Pace! 1). Beeg Luka Part 1 - With the number of injured players growing, do you expect the Pacers to begin trying out guys on 10 day contracts? Part 2 - With the team having at least 4 players out for two weeks or more, do they qualify for the hardship exception to go above 15 men on the roster? (Rooster asked a similar question) 2). Garrett from Buffalo! Bills Mafia baby! Why do you think our pace of play has slowed this season? 3). Josh Who do you think will have the next 40+ game on the Pacers? I personally think it'll be Mathurin. Do you think the next breakout player for the Pacers is on the roster or will we trade for them? Not including Mathurin. 4). Mann Marsden Do you guys think regardless of fit, that it is time to move on from Myles and go to more of defense type center? 5). Pacer Faithful Do you see a world where Mathurin and Siakam become the all stars/high scorers and Haliburton becomes more of a facilitator long term? 6). Aaron M What are your thoughts on Furphy’s upside? Can he be that big-ish 3-D wing the Pacers need more of at some point? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
