Larry Bird back as Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations
INDIANAPOLIS, June 26 () -- Larry Bird has agreed to a multiyear deal to return to the Indiana Pacers as president of basketball operations, the team announced Wednesday.Bird left the post after the 2011-12 season for health reasons. Donnie Walsh, who held the job during Bird's absence, will become a consultant and Kevin Pritchard will remain as the team's general manager.Pacers owner Herb Simon said Bird's return gives the team "three of the best basketball minds in the business.""When he left last July,[url=http://www.hotyoupro.com]The north face jackets cheap[/url], Donnie and I both told him the door would be open for him to come back when he's ready," Simon said. "Larry had a huge impact on this team and where it is now, so it's fitting that he comes back at this time."Since taking over operations in 2003,[url=http://www.hotyoupro.com]The north face jackets clearance[/url], Bird has acquired the draft rights to center Roy Hibbert and taken guards Paul George and Lance Stephenson in the NBA Draft.He was named NBA Executive of the Year after the 2011-12 season.The Pacers went 49-32 in 2012-13, when they won the Central Division title before losing to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.In a statement Wednesday, Bird said the time off "gave me a chance to reflect,[url=http://www.hotyoupro.com]The north face outlet store[/url], to rest,[url=http://www.trueireligion.com]Cheap True Religion Jeans[/url], to take care of some health issues and it re-charged me."
