We're Back! Plus, The Pacers Are Being Slept On Again, But Where Do We Stand?

The All Pacers Podcast is back!

We’re breaking down the Pacers’ offseason and looking ahead to where Indiana could land in the Eastern Conference.

First, we give our overall assessment of the offseason, including the Braden Smith trade, the decision to move on from Kam Jones, and the addition of Kelly Oubre Jr. What does Oubre bring to Indiana, and how does he fit alongside the current core? Plus, we hand out our final offseason grades and identify the biggest strength and concern.

Then we tackle the big question: Is Kelly Oubre Jr. the best free-agent signing the Pacers have made in recent history? We compare Oubre to Bruce Brown, T.J. Warren, Doug McDermott, Thaddeus Young, Darren Collison and other notable additions while debating the difference between signing the best player and making the best overall signing.

Finally, we dive into the Eastern Conference playoff picture. We debate which teams make the playoffs, which teams miss, the biggest sleepers, the teams we're not buying, and where the Pacers stack up against the competition. Can Indiana finish in the top six and avoid the Play-In Tournament, or will they have to fight their way into the postseason?

Plus, we wrap things up with our final offseason grades, Oubre takes, Pacers record predictions and playoff predictions.

Let us know where you have the Pacers finishing in the East, and whether Kelly Oubre is the best free-agent signing in recent Pacers history.
