Alex and Facci answer your questions from the first Mailbag of the season! If you don't see your question below, we will be answering it on another Mailbag podcast this week. A big THANK YOU to everyone for your questions! Pacer faithful: Hot take: Are we convinced that Obi is actually better than Nwora? Nwora is definitely better offensively. Might be a better rebounder. And honestly not sure that he’s worse defensively. Young simba: Do you think the real second option is already on this roster or will we need to trade for one? Caleb Rodriguez What trade would you like to see the Pacers pull off before the trade deadline? Rooster: Knowing that Buddy is unlikely to sign an extension and given TJ’s role inconsistency could you see a TJ for Caruso trade and or a Buddy for OG trade and how many picks do you think would be needed to pull off each one? And do you think this would solve our defensive problems? Aaron m Is there a player that the Pacers could target (via trade or next offseason as a free agent) that you think could actually help this defense? TelldaTruth31 With the struggles on Defense and giving up so many points at the rim , Should the Pacers look to play bigger lineups at times i.e Jackson and Jarace at the 4 . Sacrifice some offense for better defense Chase: With Haliburton taking a much larger leap than a majority of fans expected this season, do you think the front office will be more aggressive in trading for a second star to pair with Haliburton? DJ DAVIS Has Bruce Brown made the Pacers better? Who can we turn his 2024 Team Option into? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
