The summer doldrums have started, but Scott and Tony are here to dig into the Pacers summer thus far. (There are some audio issues the first 5-6 minutes of the podcast, sorry about that) They chat about the Obi Toppin contract, if the Pacers did anything to improve their defense. The James Wiseman signing, and what this means for Turner (if anything), followed by the usual “What to do with Turner” discussion. How important Walker’s development is for this team and Haliburton’s window.

Finally the talk about Zack Edey in the NBA, Haliburton’s role on Team USA, along with some larger Team USA vs Dream Team thoughts.
