Hello and welcome to the game theory offseason preview series where Bryce Simon and I are breaking

down all 30 NBA teams off seasons. Today we're doing the Indiana Pacers, which I'm going to be

honest, Bryce, I think this has a chance to be the quiet offseason of any team in the league.

If we're just going to look at it, they have some extension

questions. They don't have their pick now because that got moved in the Evita Zubot's deal.

But it does feel like their big move occurred at the deadline as opposed to occurring during

the off season when a lot of teams do things. Yeah. I mean, the starting lineup, I think, is pretty easily projectable.

Now they don't have that top four pick, what could have been a top four pick with

Halliburton coming back, Nimhard, Neesmith, Seacum and Zubots.

I think it really comes down to do they make any moves

around that? And specifically, as you mentioned, is there a Jaris Walker trade? Is there something

they try to do to upgrade the backup center position? Just kind of the depth things and what

kind of, what moves do they make in regards to that to add to the depth

of this team off the bench and are again, I think Jaris is probably the biggest name in terms

of somebody who may not be on this team by the time the off season is over, but it really comes down to those kind of marginal

moves.

Not that depth is important, but it's more so those things than trying to make a big swing

or as you mentioned talking about the draft.

Well, and to me, like you brought up the starters, right?

You even look at the bench unit.

I think it looks pretty steady, to be honest.

You have Obie Toppin and T.J. McConnell.
