Episode Details

Mike Scotto joins Alex Golden and Mike Facci for a big-picture NBA conversation that goes far beyond Indiana.

We start with the recent uproar surrounding potential NBA Draft Lottery changes. Are the overreactions justified? Or is this simply the league trying to balance competitive integrity with long-term team building?

Then we shift to the Pacers.

Why Indiana made the move for Ivica Zubac

What they gave up — and how the league views the deal

And what Bennedict Mathurin’s future realistically looks like with the Clippers

From there, we zoom ahead to the Summer of 2026. What are executives around the league preparing for? Which teams are positioning themselves? And why does Giannis Antetokounmpo once again loom as the storyline that could reshape everything?
