Joining us now, by the way, Java House, Peel and Poor Guestline. He is from the Indianapolis star. He is our friend Dustin. Joe Pirac. Thank you, Eddie. Joining us. Hi, Dustin. How are you? Doing well, Jack. I'm about yourself. I've got like an M.I.A. on my voice, but other than that, I'm okay. I'm not, I'm not even sick. I don't know what it is. I just talk so much, I guess, right? I mean, you would think that would get you over time, considering it is your job.

Here's the thing.

I think probably most people in Indianapolis

are totally fine with the fact that my voice might be waning a little bit,

if you really would like another truth.

Okay, Dustin, we'll begin with this.

The NBA commissioner calls you,

says we're going to give you a franchise. You cannot put it in Seattle, Las Vegas, Nashville's now off the board. Where are you putting Dustin's team? I mean, I would put it in Pittsburgh, but that's just me. Oh, that's good. Now, that's not even me saying it's going to work. That's just

if I had the kind of money to buy one, that's where I would put it because that's where I'm

from. Are they going to be the Pipers? What's that? The Pittsburgh Pipers? We bring it back.

We bring it back. We go with the ABA stuff and, you know, stick with that. I think the last one they had, they had a CBA team that was the Pittsburgh Piranhas actually did pretty good for a year, if I recall correctly. But they're like, yeah, anything with the P works, I think we go with that. We've got to be black and gold, right? Right. Yeah, of course. I mean, you have to stick with it. That's how it has to operate. The entire city's got to go under that coat. All right. There's no other way. What are you hearing? Trade deadline. Let's begin with what you're hearing. And maybe even will go outside Benedict Matherin. Are there any other players on the Pacer's roster that you kind of raise an eyebrow and say, it wouldn't surprise me if their name percolates a little bit here? Yeah, I mean, I think it all depends on how big they want to swing. Like, I don't think they're trying to move anybody else. They're certainly not like, it's not, you don't look at him and say, well, okay, you know,

you've got to move off from that guy.

Matthew is the only one that you look at and say, well, you might, you might have to make a move here because otherwise you might lose him for nothing. You know, everybody else you have the opportunity to keep. you know, Nem Harden was the other guy in that class, and he's already signed to an extension.

So, I mean, I could see, I could still see Walker going.

I could still see Walker going.

I could still see an Isaiah Jackson going, but I think in those cases, it's more a case of you're swinging big and you've got to put a package together that works. I mean, I think they're thrilled with the way Jaros Walker's playing. I mean, I think Rick Carlis is over the moon with what he's got out of in the last three weeks.
