Pacers not looking for another deal

[645]

MIAMI -- The news of the Indiana Pacers' trade with Golden State had barely reached all corners of the NBA on Wednesday when a rumor began spreading: The Pacers were planning to send Mike Dunleavy Jr. to the Los Angeles Clippers for Corey Maggette.

"Absolutely untrue," Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh said Thursday.
Walsh had just gotten off the phone with Dunleavy's father, Mike Sr., who coaches the Clippers. Their conversation wasn't about a trade; it was about how to get the most out of a player who was often regarded as a disappointment in his five seasons with Golden State.

"I talked to Indiana today for 45 minutes and there was no talk of any kind of deal," the elder Dunleavy told Los Angeles-area reporters. "He's there because they want him there."
