This week in Pacers talk
The shows spent the week sorting through fallout from the Clippers' punishment, which stripped away an Indiana pick from an earlier deal. While some hosts see the Pacers as sleepers with Ivica Zubac healthy and Tyrese Haliburton back, others worry the trade that brought him in looks less valuable now. There's also been talk about Zubac playing for Croatia in FIBA qualifying, with the Pacers apparently nervous about the injury risk.
