Pacers draft Mathurin, move Brogdon, bring back Smith; Jared Weiss on Boston trade Fieldhouse Files: Scott Agness on the Indiana Pacers

    • Basketball

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files, I recapped my time at the NBA Draft, then discussed free agency. The Pacers were quiet on Day 1, then checked off a few key items. Among them, dealing Malcolm Brogdon to the Boston Celtics — so later, I’m be joined by Jared Weiss of The Athletic in Boston to discuss.

Among the items discussed on this episode:


My experience in New York for the NBA Draft.
Two things that were different at the draft v TV.
How Bennedict Mathurin was the Pacers’ guy all along.
Characteristics in players they are after.
Why Tyrese Haliburton was with Mathurin before the draft.
An elaborate introduction for the three draft picks… (14:45)
Free agency/Brogdon trade (19:40)
Jalen Smith … back!? Wow. (26:50)
What’s up with T.J. Warren? (29:40)
Updates on Edmond Sumner, Lance Stephenson (31:00)
What’s left in free agency — Myles Turner? DeAndre Ayton? (35:20)
Jared Weiss on Brogdon’s change in attitude, plus how the five Celtics players fit with the Pacers should they be kept. (41:00)
