The Pacers fired vice president of player relations Sam Perkins on Friday. Perkins, who spent part of his playing career in Indiana, held the position for two years. The firing had been coming for quite some time, according to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star. Perkins and the rest of the front office didn't always see eye-to-eye and the team didn't feel he was a good communicator. http://blogs.indystar.com/pacersinsider/archives/2010/04/big_smooth_is_s.html
