Greg, Mike Rich, Mike Hutsell, Michelle Garmon and John Robertson debate the current state of the Pacers Franchise after losing Tyrese Haliburton for next season and Myles Turner to free agency. Questions pondered: Who are the top Pacers prospects for the 2025-26 season and beyond and who's jersey are they also likely to buy? Which Pacers are going to make the biggest impacts next season? Which players impressed from Summer League? ... and what's the current level of distaste for Myles Turner?
