Report: Larry Bird to return as Pacers president, promote Kevin Pritchard to
GM

The future of the Indiana Pacers' basketball operations department has been
the subject of some confusion, with reports that president Larry Bird might
retire this summer and with multiple internal candidates, as well as former
executive Donnie Walsh, looming as potential replacements. On Friday, some
possible clarity emerged.
Yahoo Sports reports that Bird is in fact planning to return for next season
and that he has selected director of player personnel Kevin Pritchard to the
GM position, replacing current GM David Morway.
As Larry Bird finalizes his deal to continue as Indiana Pacers president,
he plans to elevate Kevin Pritchard to become the franchise's general
manager, multiple league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Pritchard has become a favorite of Bird's since his hiring as the Pacers'
director of player personnel a year ago. Pritchard's promotion will spell the
end of David Morway's successful tenure as GM, sources said.
Bird still has to finalize a deal with Simon for Pritchard's promotion to
be made official.
The Pacers recently granted Morway the right to interview with the Portland
Trail Blazers regarding their GM position, which was filled this week with
the hiring of former Los Angeles Clippers executive Neil Olshey. Morway was
officially promoted to Indiana's GM position in 2008 after spending more than
10 years with the franchise.
Pritchard served as GM of the Blazers before being fired by owner Paul Allen
on the night of the 2010 NBA Draft. He reportedly had interviewed for the
Toronto Raptors GM position before the season and had been mentioned as a
candidate for the Orlando Magic's open GM position in recent days. Pritchard
and Bird were briefly teammates on the Boston Celtics during the 1991-92
season.
This game of musical chairs takes place after the most successful season in
recent Pacers history. Indiana went 42-24 in the regular season and then sent
home the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs in five games. They
then advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they were
eliminated by the Miami Heat in six games. The Pacers hadn't advanced out of
the first round of the playoffs since 2005.
