With his future for next season still uncertain, New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh said speculation he could return to the Pacers is rubbish.

"I'm angry about that," Walsh said of a rumored second stint in Indiana. "There's absolutely no truth to it. I never talked to [Pacers owner] Herb Simon or anybody else about it. To me, it's something someone makes up."

Pacers president Larry Bird said that making the playoffs has made him definitely want to return to the Pacers next season. Had they missed out, Bird said he may not have come back.

Knicks owner James Dolan has until April 30 to exercise the final year on Walsh's contract. However, if that deadline passes, he can still bring Walsh back with a new deal.
