Expansion Draft Decisions: Top 8 to Protect + Pacers’ Offseason Needs (Crossover w/ The Pacers Post Up – Pt. 2)

It’s Part 2 of our crossover with The Pacers Post Up — and this one is all about tough decisions. Alex Golden is joined Brad and Ryan Knight to break down a hypothetical expansion draft scenario: if Indiana can only protect 8 players, who makes the cut? We debate: The untouchables The tough calls The young upside swings And which veterans might be left exposed Then we zoom out. Looking ahead to next season, what does this Pacers roster still need? Another creator? More size? Defensive versatility? A microwave scorer? We connect the expansion draft conversation to the bigger picture of roster construction and long-term sustainability.
