INDIANAPOLIS (AP)—Pacers president Larry Bird says he has received calls from people interested in buying and moving the team.

Bird adds, however, that despite questions about the franchise’s stability he’s never heard team owner Herb Simon say he would relocate the club.

The Pacers are losing money and team officials have been talking with the city about the $15 million a year it costs the club to operate Conseco Fieldhouse.

Bird also said Thursday that coach Jim O’Brien would return despite a third straight losing season. Bird says part of the rebuilding process includes retaining the coach.

The Pacers finished the season Wednesday with a 32-50 record, their worst since 1988-89. They missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

unless changes are made alot of teams will have to consider moving or not spend money to compete.the nba has a proposal for big market teams to share some revenue with smaller market teams. either way the cats have one of the best arena situations in league they just have to get people in the stands

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
