Very insightful! Two great interviewers!

Great session. Yes I'm a bit worried about the Paris trip, hopefully the flow is not affected.. Great problem to have. not enough minutes for everyone.. I really rooting for Jarace Walker as a SF development project. His length can't be overlooked...

[@geraldmeehan8942]

Thank you Jeremiah and Tony. Let's keep rolling

Tony, that interview with Jeremiah was great. I really liked hearing him talk about the details of how he goes about choosing who gets the walk-off interview. Then also a good discussion about how the minutes might break down, now that Nesmith is back. I agree and believe that they can, and will sustain the recent level of success through the All-Star break and rest of the season, when everyone stays healthy.

[@chstultz]

Agree. Love the extra insight. Hopefully we get some extra behind the scenes stuff during the Paris games.

[@LockedOnPacers]

Was glad to get some more behind the scenes stuff

The Pacers have a team of young superstars. Every other team in the league knows it and is threatened by it. Other GM’s in the league salivate when they watch Nembhard, Mathurin, and even Jarace Walker and Ben Simmons. The team the Pacers have built is potentially a dynasty level team if these players unite and connect together in a special way. The more vocal leadership Pascal Siakam has shown has helped. They need a strong floor leader and peer to peer accountability. Tyrese needs to develop the discipline to to be a killer night in, night out and have a Kobe Bryant level of focus.

other than Ben Simmons you're spot on. Do you mean Ben Sheppard?

[@warlockmagic3416]

Ryan Nembhard is also really good. Shorter, but he has more quickness and what looks to be a better shooting stroke.

Pacers have a real shot at a top 4 seed. They need to be aggressive at the deadline and make a consolidation trade!
