This one dives into long-term planning and front office dynamics.
With Tyrese Haliburton working his way back and TJ McConnell battling injuries, do the Pacers prioritize drafting a young point guard in the second round… or bring in a proven veteran to stabilize the bench?
We discuss:

- Whether the Pacers even have a second-round pick to work with
- And how much influence Rick Carlisle truly has in roster construction
Plus:

- How much longer Rick coaches in Indiana
- And the ongoing “tanking” debate — are the Pacers actually doing it?
