Bird will remain a consultant of general manager Kevin Pritchard, however his decision can have ramification in the future of the Pacers and specially in the future of Paul George.
The franchise player of the Pacers has one year left in his current contract and a player option for the 2018-19 season, however many teams are trying to lure him away from Indiana and the decision of Bird may affect also his decision.
Larry Bird is stepping down as Pacers president, league sources tell @TheVertical. Kevin Pritchard will take over basketball operations.
