Donnie Walsh visited family in Indiana during All-Star Weekend, according to two sources.

Walsh was irritated that trade negotiations were taking place in Los Angeles and another source said Isiah Thomas wanted to make the CArmelo Anthony deal more than he did.

Walsh returned to New York and did not sit through practice on Monday, but he did work on the closing details of the trade.

League sources believe James Dolan made the final call to trade Timofey Mozgov.

One source says Mike D'Antoni believes the Knicks gave up too much for Anthony.

"Did Donnie and Mike really want to have that on their résumé?" said one source involved in the trade talks that spoke with ESPN. "Did they really want to deal with being the guys who protected Mozgov and sent Melo to the Nets?"
