How many "Blank" Of The Year winners get canned soon after in sports? I seem to remember Coach Of The Year was cursed for a time.

I am thrilled since this likely means KP will not become GM.

A couple of months ago he was definitely retiring. A couple of weeks ago he was definitely staying. There are issues between him and the owner that we don't know.

Bird purportedly has health issues.

He can't see...

...himself working for the Pacers again.

Terminal potato face.

He'd be a hell of a hire as a coach.

Regular season: 147-67
Playoffs: 22-16

Hmmm... Bird and now Morway? Makes ya wonder what cards Donnie boy has in his hand. Talk about a front office in flux at draft time! Sheesh, makes me feel good about the Blazers front office now.

Sounds more like a temper tantrum disagreement to me!

That's probably the case. Bad time for Indy to have issues like this. I'm trying to think of something we might be able to steal on the cheap from them as it appears they are going to rattle the tree.
