## Resource

Alex Golden and Mike Facci wrap up their evaluation of the Indiana Pacers' offseason by answering one big question: Did the Pacers do enough in free agency? Piggybacking off yesterday's episode, where they graded each of Indiana's offseason moves individually, the guys zoom out to evaluate the offseason as a whole. They discuss how each addition and roster decision fits together, whether the Pacers addressed their biggest needs, and if the front office did enough to keep Indiana in the championship conversation. Topics include: A final evaluation of Indiana's free agency How Kelly Oubre Jr., Larry Nance Jr., Braden Smith, Kobe Brown and Quenton Jackson fit into the bigger picture Whether the Pacers improved enough to compete in an increasingly competitive Eastern Conference What questions still remain heading into training camp Whether Indiana should feel confident with its current roster or continue exploring ways to improve Please note: This episode was recorded before the news that Taelon Peter was waived, so that transaction is not discussed. Thanks for listening, and as always... Go Pacers!
