## Resource

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with Part 2 of the June Mailbag Series, and this episode centers around one major question: Should the Indiana Pacers go all-in? After coming so close to a championship, the guys debate whether now is the time to make a major move or if patience remains the smartest path forward. Questions discussed include: Is it time for Indiana to make a championship-level move? Which players could realistically help the Pacers get over the hump? Can the Pacers go all-in without sacrificing a second championship window around Tyrese Haliburton? Should Indiana make a move now or wait until the trade deadline? If one member of the Core 7 had to be moved alongside T. J. McConnell, who would it be? What is the most realistic way to improve the roster this offseason? What is the biggest thing standing between the Pacers and true title contention? Does Indiana have enough elite shooting if they stand pat? A fun and thought-provoking mailbag episode focused on roster-building philosophy, championship windows and what comes next for the Pacers.
