Free agent Jon Barry, a player the Pacers had been interested in as a backup to both Miller and point guard Anthony Johnson, signed with Denver on Wednesday. Barry wanted a long-term deal the Pacers weren?t willing to offer a player of his age (34).

Walsh said he remains confident that the depth issue in the backcourt will be resolved. Veteran Anthony Johnson was signed from New Jersey to back up point guard Jamaal Tinsley. Freddie Jones, a first-round pick last year and undrafted free-agent signee Carl English are the other shooting guards on the roster. Starting small forward Ron Artest also has played the position.

?We have players in those positions,? Walsh said, ?and I?m going to get another player in that position. We?re still looking to see if we can add to our backcourt a little more.?
