NBA Woody Any concerns that the Obi Toppin & Jarace Walker pairing will end up being a similar situation to NYK where Randle was really good & it killed Obi's development? Or is there a world where the two of them are effective on the court together in big minutes. Rooster If you could add one restaurant/food option to Gainbridge what would it be? If you could add one non all star player to this years roster who would it be? How many seasons will it take for Tyrese Haliburton to earn his spot on the Mt. Rushmore of Pacers and why is it this year? Aaron M So Mathurin is working out with Klay? What are some things you hope he takes from that experience?
