The Towns/Randle Trade + Indiana Pacers 2024-25 Season Outlook with Caitlin Cooper

The Towns/Randle Trade + Indiana Pacers 2024-25 Season Outlook with Caitlin Cooper

A late-night pod on the blockbuster Wolves/Knicks deal involving Karl-Anthony Towns, Julius Randle, and Donte DiVincenzo.

We go through the salary cap math as it stands now, how good this Knicks team is, and whether we’d have done the deal as New York.

We disagree on the impact of this deal for Minnesota, in which Nate likes it a lot more for the Wolves than Danny.

Caitlin Cooper of Basketball She Wrote joins to look ahead to a highly-anticipated season in Indiana.

  • What part of last year’s season is most relevant for predicting this year?
  • How much did Tyrese Haliburton’s injury bother him and what do we expect this year?
  • Why Caitlin expects a big year from Andrew Nembhard.
  • Will the Pacers change up their scheme that was so obsessed with taking away threes?
  • It’s a crucial year for Benn Mathurin to prove he can contribute to winning.
  • How Rick Carlisle’s rotation will shake out.
  • The epic backup center competition between Isaiah Jackson and James Wiseman.
  • Can the offense reach the same heights as last year? Plus, other strengths and weaknesses.
