    Checking in on the Pacers w/ Kory Waldron

    The Indiana Pacers have been one of the harder teams to define this NBA season. Their young core of Tyrese Haliburton and Benedict Mathurin would suggest a full-on rebuild. The presence of Buddy Hield and Myles Turner points towards a team looking to make the playoffs. As the Pacers currently stand, they are somewhere in the middle. Having lost 7 straight games, they are 9th place in the Eastern Conference, vying for a Play-In Spot.  Where do the Pacers go from here? Do they flip their veterans at the deadline and embrace the fall into the cellar? Do they pool assets to bring in some win-now players and solidify that playoff spot? To help us answer those questions and much more, we bring Kory Waldron (@KWalHoops on Twitter) into the Circle Of Trust.  We discuss the play of many of the Pacers, their futures with the team, and much more in this Indiana-centric episode. The Hoop Truthers close the pod with some thoughts on the Memphis v. Shannon Sharpe kerfuffle, as well as news that The Bucks are expecting their stars back soon. Open your third eye and tap-in!

    Checking in on The Standings + Trade Rumors Perculatin'

    December 15th is the unofficial annual kickstarter to trades in the NBA. This is when anyone that was signed *without* bird rights during the off-season is eligible to be traded. Front offices often wait until this date so there are more options to trade for + salary matching purposes. But...it might start early this year. The rumors have started way early and we've even had some reports of multi-team trades falling apart at the last minute. The Hoop Truthers discuss the rumors that are out there, whether we agree with them or not, and then play with some potential destinations for the players mentioned. Also! We're 15ish games into the season. How are the standings looking? Any surprises? Disappointments? Tap in now or Giannis sees you as a ladder next time you're at a game.
