Alex Golden is joined by Sean Trader of the Pacers Pulse to discuss the Centers on the Chicago Bulls!

Vooch is a stretch big, but is he too old to be a stopgap center for the Pacers? Zach Collins is on an expiring deal, and unless the Bulls are offering a handful of assets to pair with him, a deal does not make sense...but maybe as a FA in the summer of 2026? Lastly, Jalen Smith is only making 9-million dollars this season and a little over 9-million next year. Indiana clearly liked Smith to trade for him once, could they do it again?

Now at the end of each discussion, the guys give each team and their center depth a letter grade. A being the best, F being the worst.

We hope you enjoy this miniseries! Tomorrow, we discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers! NEW episode out on January 27th!

Always a good time to chat with Bryce Simon of The Game Theory Podcast with Sam Vecenie and The Pistons Pulse! With his knowledge of the NBA Draft, the league at large and the Pacers roster, it was a perfect guest to chat with about the Pacers. Bryce highlights who he likes for Indiana at the top and the importance of talent versus fit. We also dive into the questions surrounding Bennedict Mathurin, as the Pistons have the same questions about Jaden Ivey, and lastly, we look at a handful of centers that might make sense for the blue and gold to target in a trade.

Alex and Facci look at the 3 Los Angeles Clippers big men: Ivica Zubac, John Collins and Brook Lopez

Is Zubac THE GUY that Indiana is desperately missing at the starting 5? Why LA might trade him and what it would cost to get him. Brook Lopez's age is all you need to know about his long-term fit at center in Indy, but would he be worth the price to be a backup? John Collins showing his capabilities, but is he too small at the 5? Could you snag JC in Free Agency?

Now at the end of each discussion, the guys give each team and their center depth a letter grade. A being the best, F being the worst.

On today's show, Alex Golden goes solo to recap the Pacers best game of the season. Jarace Walker had a career night with 26 points and made 4 clutch free throws to ultimately seal the deal for the blue and gold. Andrew Nembhard had one of his best games of the year with 27 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds, and so many other players stepped up big in an emotional game. Let's talk about the best win of the season for the Pacers and what we can take away from it!

Alex and Facci look at the 4 Sacramento Kings big men: Domantas Sabonis, Maxime Raynaud, Precious Achiuwa and Drew Eubanks.

Would a Sabonis reunion make sense? Did Pacers make mistake taking Kam Jones and not drafting Raynaud in the 2nd round? Was Rick Carlisle's media interviews in the playoffs about Achiuwa a sign that he likes him? Is Drew Eubanks good?
