A Pacers spokesman this morning at the team's shoot-around in Indianapolis denied the ESPN report that said Donnie Walsh had agreed to run the Knicks after this season.
The spokesman told the Indianapolis Star that Walsh "hasn't agreed to anything with anybody."
Walsh was at the shoot-around but declined comment.
Stay tuned....

If Walsh left the Pacers, why would they comment for him today as to where he's going next? Doesn't seem like it's their place.
Walsh had no comment yesterday and no comment today, so that hasn't changed. The only thing that has is that now a Pacers official making noise about it.
Very strange...
Alan- I agree with your scepticism on the whole situation, especially since it seemed to be spurred by an impromptu press conference, but I'm surprised you haven't done more to raise the question of whether or not Donnie Walsh was the right choice (assuming this deal gets done). I understand that he's a native New Yorker and he's 'fulfilling a dream', but let's take into account the last two natives who came to new york for their 'dream jobs' and not forget their tenures. Is this not a bit hasty (not that Dolan has ever been one to practice prudence)? Shouldn't The Logo, Kiki, Colangelo, and a host of others at least have been contacted? Don't you think that if you polled Knicks fan, Colangelo would be the overwhelming favorite? Not that it matters, I'm just surprised that most of the reportage has concerned whether or not the deal has been completed, not whether or not it is the right deal to begin with. Is bringing in a 66 year old really the most sagacious first step in what is certain to be a long and greuling rebuilding process?
