Mike Facci is joined by Keith Smith of Spotrac for a deep dive into the Indiana Pacers’ financial future and how upcoming decisions could shape the franchise.

They also discuss the potential financial impact of extending Bennedict Mathurin, and what a contract north of $100 million could mean for the Clippers moving forward.

Other topics include:

• The difference between being a luxury tax team and crossing the first apron
• Why Indiana made the move to acquire Ivica Zubac at the deadline despite not prioritizing short-term wins
• The broader conversation around tanking in today’s NBA
• And how the Eastern Conference landscape could shift next season with teams like Toronto, Charlotte, Milwaukee and Philadelphia all facing pivotal offseason decisions
