I knew when Bird suddenly stepped down that the Pacers were screwed. Bird saw the writing on the wall and didn't wanna stick around in a burning house.
A smart exec would have went to PG at the deadline and if he sensed any hesitation AT ALL from him, traded him for that kings ransom on the spot. That's how great organizations operate.
Since Bird hesitated, the Pacers and their fans like me are left holding the bag.
