Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Pritchard

The lottery reaction was one thing… the fallout afterward somehow got even crazier. Brad and Ryan regroup to break down the discourse surrounding the Pacers officially conveying the No. 5 pick to the Clippers as part of the Ivica Zubac trade. The guys explain why this was still the correct “win-now” move for Indiana, why Zubac remains one of the best values at the center position in the league, and why context matters when evaluating aggressive front office decisions. They also discuss Kevin Pritchard's transparency and accountability in the aftermath of the lottery, while reacting to some of the wildly over-the-top national takes calling the trade a disaster or suggesting KP should be fired. A passionate conversation about risk, roster building, and why the Pacers are still positioned to make another serious run next season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

IndyStar Pacers Insider Dustin Dopirak and Pacers editor Nat Newell talk through the Pacers losing out on a top 4 pick, president Kevin Pritchard apologizing -- and exactly what he was apologizing for -- the only real mistake Pritchard made in this process and what's next now that the NBA's next great superstar isn't coming to the Pacers.

In this “Return to Basketball” episode of The Pacers Post Up, Brad and Ryan gear up as the Indiana Pacers resume action with a back-to-back starting Thursday in DC against the Wizards—post-All-Star break edition! We give our final thoughts on the NBA tanking narrative: Mark Cuban's viral X manifesto defending/embracing tanking (with his Mavericks history), Kevin Pritchard quote-tweeting it and polling Pacers fans on their stance, plus Rick Carlisle's comments on the fine and his plan for working Ivica Zubac into the lineup. Pacers were back at practice this week—first injury report for the Wizards game drops Siakam out (personal reasons) and Zubac still sidelined (ankle sprain, no debut yet). We close out a jam-packed episode talking pure delusion with Kevin Durant's latest burner account drama. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pacers just pushed every chip to the center of the table. Indiana lands Ivica Zubac in what can only be described as a home-run, win-now trade by Kevin Pritchard. Giving up Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson, a protected 2026 first, the 2029 first, and a Dallas 2028 second isn't cheap — but this is the exact type of swing championship teams have to make. Zubac brings elite size, physicality, rebounding, and defensive presence — everything this roster has been missing in the postseason. An All-NBA caliber defender last season, he instantly stabilizes the paint, changes matchups, and unlocks Indiana's ceiling over the next few years. Big risk. Bigger belief. Kudos to Kevin Pritchard for getting his guy and officially putting the Pacers in championship mode. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In today's episode of The Pacers Post Up, we break down Kevin Pritchard's end-of-season press conference, where the Pacers' President of Basketball Operations addressed a whirlwind start to the offseason. Pritchard opened up about Tyrese Haliburton's injury, his recovery outlook, and what the team expects from its All-NBA guard heading into next season. The big headline, though, is the official confirmation of Myles Turner's departure to Milwaukee — a move that signals the end of a major era in Pacers basketball. We also dive into Indiana's evolving frontcourt, now featuring a “center-by-committee” strategy with the Jay Huff trade, the James Wiseman signing, and what that rotation could look like on both ends of the floor. Is it a stopgap or the future? We discuss. Plenty to unpack as the Pacers begin reshaping their identity for 2025 and beyond.

Rome Odunze works as a 15th overall pick - if he is not already off the board. His interview make me think Ballard will love him in spite of his great speed!
