NEW YORK — Larry Bird, who has sold his Indianapolis home and is moving back to Florida where his son plans to finish college, GM David Morway and coach Frank Vogel are on the precipice of becoming ex-Pacers, it says here.

I'm not saying owner Herb Simon won't try to re-enlist Bird . . . though that's a distinct possibility. Should an offer be extended, however, it definitely won't by remotely near the $5 million he will have banked for eight straight seasons; more like $1 million, tops, per year for three or four.

And, you know what?
