2026/01/29

Alex Golden and Mike Facci reunite on this series to discuss the Milwaukee Bucks. Former Pacers center Myles Turner left this gaping hole for the Pacers to fill, but would it make sense to negotiate with Milwaukee to see if maybe there is a deal to bring Turner back to Indy? We discuss the cons of that, why the pros are slim and briefly touch on Jericho Sims. Now at the end of each discussion, the guys give each team and their center depth a letter grade. A being the best, F being the worst. We hope

Alex Golden goes solo to talk about the Detroit Pistons terrific frontcourt of Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and Paul Reed. Jalen Duren is a RFA this season, but will the Pistons offer him the contract he deserves? If not, could Indy swoop in? Isaiah Stewart is crazy, but he is a high-level impact player.

2026/01/26

Alex Golden is joined by Sean Trader of the Pacers Pulse to discuss the Centers on the Chicago Bulls! Vooch is a stretch big, but is he too old to be a stopgap center for the Pacers? Zach Collins is on an expiring deal, and unless the Bulls are offering a handful of assets to pair with him, a deal does not make sense...but maybe as a FA in the summer of 2026? Lastly, Jalen Smith is only making 9-million dollars this season and a little over 9-million next year. Indiana clearly liked Smith to trade
