Alex Golden and Mike Facci are here to recap ANOTHER Tyrese Haliburton game winner in the postseason!

Alex Golden and Facci closeout the MAILBAG podcast answering the following questions: 1). Erik Nikol  If you guys are doing the consolidation trade in the offseason, which players are you keeping vs trading?  2). Mann Marsden  Real take on the play of Tyrese and is he a superstar or franchise player ? Or jus mid like Evan Turner warned us about 3). Nicholas Thornburg If Myles Turner does not re-sign with the Pacers this offseason, what route do you think the Pacers would go for at the center position? Do you think a priority would need to be to go after a stretch big given the ability of Haliburton to dish well to centers for 3 pointers? 4). Adam aka REDS FAN RIP 19 What do you guys think has been the biggest reason for the turnaround and better play? 5). Sam Tompkins Do you think the starters would have more success with Nesmith in the line up? Would this free Mathurin up for more offensive production with TJ/Obi/etc by coming off the bench? 6). Josh Lovell The Pacers lack shooting, aside from Tyrese. Instead of Alex Len for the 15th spot, would they be better off with a real shooter, like Bojan? 7). Christopher Lloyd AKA The Film Critic With big contracts going to their stars, it's clear the Pacers can't play and pay all of their young talent: Nembhard, Mathurin, Walker, Nesmith, Sheppard, Furphy. How many do you think they keep long-term, and which ones?
