Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a fun offseason episode full of hypotheticals, trade talk and Pacers debate.

The guys open the show discussing Trey Murphy III sitting courtside with Tyrese Haliburton at the Indiana Fever game…

Coincidence? Maybe. But that doesn’t stop the conversation.

Alex and Facci then react to comments from Jake Query regarding how the Ivica Zubac trade came together and debate whether Indiana would have been better off moving one of its “Core Seven” players instead of parting with the fifth overall pick.

That leads to the big discussion:

If the Pacers had the chance to trade for Trey Murphy, which member of the Core Seven would make the most sense to move — and would Indiana even consider it?

A loaded episode full of roster-building hypotheticals, trade philosophy and entertaining Pacers discussion.
