Alex Golden and Mike Facci wrap up their four-part offseason series by bringing everything together and Ranking the Pacers Roster for the Future.

After spending the last three episodes evaluating the centers, guards and forwards individually, the guys now put the entire roster into one ranking to determine which players are the most important pieces of Indiana's future.

The discussion factors in:

Age and development curve
Contract value
Current production
Long-term upside
Fit alongside Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and the rest of the core

Alex and Facci debate where each player belongs and explain why some players project as foundational building blocks while others may have a less certain future with the franchise.

It's a fun exercise that serves as the grand finale to a series that has examined every player on the roster from every angle.

Who comes in at No. 1? Who rises higher than expected? And which players have the most to prove moving forward?

The final installment of the "Rankings for the Future" series is here. 🏀💛💙

Trey Murphy Trade Coming? Building a Roster to Stop Wemby

Tyler Chin — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 03:00:00 GMT

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with a fascinating discussion on team building, championship windows and the future of the NBA.

The guys open the show by discussing the Oklahoma City Thunder falling in Game 7 of the NBA Finals and what it means for the rest of the league moving forward. (3:30)

Has the NBA officially entered the era of trying to build rosters capable of stopping Victor Wembanyama?

Alex and Facci debate:

What the ideal roster looks like in a Wemby-dominated league
Whether Indiana already has the framework in place
What the Pacers may still need to add

Then, the conversation shifts to comments from Bill Simmons, who suggested that Trey Murphy III could potentially be traded in the coming weeks. (23:53)

The guys discuss:

What Murphy's trade value might be
Which teams could be competing to acquire him
Whether Indiana should be willing to part with future assets
How much the Pacers should prioritize winning now versus preserving flexibility

And perhaps the biggest question of all:

Is Indiana's championship window only two years, or could adding a player like Trey Murphy extend it for another five-plus seasons?

A loaded offseason episode centered around roster construction, championship windows and one of the NBA's most intriguing trade possibilities.

Tyler Chin — Wed, 20 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Alex Golden is joined by Young Simba for a fun offseason exercise centered around one question:

Who are the best win-now players the Indiana Pacers could realistically trade for?
