Alex Golden and Mike Facci answer the final portion of the July Mailbag. Thank you for your questions, and we apologize for those of you who sent questions that we did not directly respond to. With a lot taking place the past few days after asking for questions, some of these questions were outdated and we had to cut some from our discussion.  1). Casey JohnsonOn a scale of 1-10 how gracefully do you think Pascal's game will age? I see a lot of people thinking he won't fit the "next window," but with less basketball on his body than most at his age and the fact that he already plays a bit of an old man game in the post (which is a compliment), I feel like his talent has a pretty long tail on it relatively. 2). Randy Will the Pacers extend Mathurin now that Myles has left? 3). Christopher Was Myles the least important starter on our team? 4). Douglas Could we get Ben Simmons?  League min or vet exception?  1 yr deal just to see or Isaiah Thomas has been floating around different leagues. Curious 5). Epic Slay How do you feel about us giving a 1st when we signed Brogdon and now getting nothing when they signed Turner?  Does it feel like the Bucks really took advantage of us both times? 6). MVPacerNo matter what, the way we play will change. Whether it’s IJAX, Richards, or Bradley. Our scheme will be very different. Also with Mathurin starting and Nembhard at Point, same thing. How do you think this changes our play style?

After losing Myles Turner in free agency to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Indiana Pacers have a glaring hole at their starting center spot. While this move doesn't mean the Pacers have their newest starting big man, it does ensure that Indiana has a center in their rotation that can do some of the things that Myles Turner did. Alex Golden and Mike Facci discuss the trade in the first segment, and then in the 2nd segment, Parker Fleming, a credentialed media writer covering the Memphis Grizzlies joins to share his insight on Jay Huff and how he will fit in with the Pacers!
