b"Alex and Facci are back to answer more questions from the Mailbag!\\n\\n1). DJ Davis - With Hali becoming a superstar who makes everyone around him better, who do you believe the Pacers can realistically trade for the Pacers to make them better now but possibly greater next year? Think about Sabonis +for Hali, Buddy +.\\xa0\\n2). Garrett - Who do you think is the ideal fit to help lift the pressure of Hali so he can continue to dominate without being double teamed?\\n3). Coach Bryan - Who or what would you sacrifice for a slightly improved defensive team on a nightly basis? Or, should we just sit back and appreciate a team/ roster that can really score it?\\n4). Aman Bakshi - IST and AS Game will put a spotlight on Indy, what can, or should team do to improve fan engagement both in ticket and TV exposure. Surely, this expansion in fan base can entice more big market players to join the Pacers, no?\\n5). Chase Sasin - Two questions: Would buddy, benn, and three firsts be enough to trade for mikal bridges? Mikal is the only player I'd be willing to trade benn for. If Myles doesn't re-sign after next season, do you feel comfortable with Jalen being the starting center of the future?\\n6). Matthew Peck - If a trade was made for a dynamic wing with length how drastically will it change the overall play of the team? We are built completely based on space & shooting offensively. What happens if our wing does not excel at shooting? Would you be okay with a dramatic offensive change\\n7). Ben Neal - What are your thoughts on Nembhard and Nesmith both starting alongside Tyrese, Obi and Myles? Clearly they are the two best defenders that also can score, and at least for the short term it could give a boost to start and end games.\\n8). Jon Geise - How many All Stars will the Pacers have if any?\\n\\n\\nInterested in advertising on this podcast? Email\\xa0sales@bluewirepods.com!\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
