On today’s episode of The Pacers Pulse Podcast, I open by celebrating Pascal Siakam’s selection as an All-Star reserve. I break down why the numbers back up his case as one of the league’s top performers this season and why his spot on the team should have been a no-brainer.Next, I dive into a looming roster dilemma the Pacers will need to address either at the trade deadline or this offseason: the long-term path for Johnny Furphy and Jarace Walker. Once Tyrese returns, the rotation will have just one available slot for a 10th man. I explore how this stretch could shape the organization’s decision between the two young forwards and highlight an important wrinkle, Jarace becomes a restricted free agent after next season. Are the Pacers prepared to pay $10–15 million per year for someone locked into a 10th-man role? I dig into all of it.In the final segment, I break down a sneaky center trade target that isn’t getting nearly enough attention. I explain why this player makes sense for Indiana, why their team could be motivated to deal, and why this could be a mutually beneficial move that’s quietly flying under the radar.As always thank you for listening!Link for Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3KyljZTLink for Spotify podcast: http://bit.ly/44IiMD6Follow us on https://www.instagram.com/pacerspulsepodcastFollow us on https://www.youtube.com/@UCDT5Yuvu6grc-yu_kTz83zA Follow us on https://x.com/pacerspulsepod?s=21If you’re into basketball cards, check out our eBay page: https://ebay.us/m/LjwNZBFollow us on https://www.instagram.com/hardwoodripsFollow us on https://www.youtube.com/@UC8fpKz0r397MTlTu9Ll4LoQ
