Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back with Part 3 of the June Mailbag Series, tackling the financial side of the Indiana Pacers' offseason.

This episode centers around one question that every Pacers fan is asking:

Will ownership finally be willing to pay the luxury tax to keep this championship window open?

The guys answer questions about:

  • What are the realistic chances Indiana enters the luxury tax?
  • Is there any reason to believe Herb Simon won't spend after everything this team has accomplished?
  • If the Pacers use the full Mid-Level Exception, how much tradable salary would they have at the deadline?
  • What type of player could Indiana realistically target in a midseason trade?
  • Is there any scenario where the Pacers could add both Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes?
  • Which free agents make the most sense for Indiana this summer?
  • The latest on who could be broadcasting Pacers games next season.

A fun mailbag episode diving into salary cap strategy, free agency, ownership spending and everything surrounding the Pacers' pivotal offseason.
