    David Morway is the current GM of the Pacers. This would be a brilliant hire. I really hope this gets done

    I am pretty sure Morway is a Bird hire, and once Larry steps down, Morway is likely to be gone in favor of our own KP

    Money sure

    But Indiana has a nice roster that should be competitive for the next 5 years. It's not often a GM leaves that kind of situation.

    KP is only a low level scout and is not a candidate for anything more there.

    Per Brian Wheeler at the last Meet and Greet.

    Pacer gave their consent, so it looks like he will get an interview

    Fun fact, Morway is also a former agent

    How much responsibility does he actually have over Bird in Indiana. Sounds like the scenario here. An adviser to tell Allen and Miller what to do, ultimately?

    From what I understand, Morway is GM in title alone. Bird makes all the decisions for that team.

    Very well could be a situation if in fact Bird is out that Morway moves to the President position and KP moves to GM.

    The draft is just around the bend. They have to do this by the time the draft order is set.

    Another Chad Buchanan draft would be devastating.
