If Phoenix trades for Jim Jackson, you'd have to think that they would package
someone off for a big man.  They keep losing size, and if this trade is made,
even the Warriors would look big comparatively.  They would also have three
shooting guards in Ainge, Majerle and Jackson, and I don't think you would
really want any of them trying to keep up with the bigger forwards in the
league.  I don't think Phoenix intimidates too much defensively inside,
basically it's the ability of the backcourt to put up points and Barkley's
superstardom (and lots of depth) that keeps them going.  Why trade for more
depth when they have areas in need?  Miller/West are 6'10'', Barkley is 6'5'',
trade for Jackson and you lose a legitimately sized small forward for another
shooting guard (the position with most depth) and you have an incredibly small
team.  Barkley can't do all the rebounding alone.

There are reports that Danny Manning wants to be traded.  I'm curious about
three things:

1. How true are the rumors?
2. What is the scouting report on Manning?
3. What teams are interested in him, if the rumors are true?

How has Gary Payton been 'hyped' by the media?

By my count, during his first two seasons he 
took considerably more shots from the media 
than he did from the floor.  And it was only 
a few weeks ago that media pundits were clucking 
about the rumored Harper-for-Payton deal as a 
smart move for the Sonics.  Hell, he's not even
on the All-Star ballot.

If he's starting to get some positive press,
it's not charity.  The Sonics are arguably the
best defensive team in the NBA and Payton,
McMillan and McKey are the cornerstones.  That,
and Payton's 15 points and 6 assists per game
adds up to a solid player.  Give the kid some
credit -- he's earned it.

Sure!  Bill was drafted out of the University of San Francisco by

The East basically has no point guards deserving, while I'm not thrilled

game, albeit from different teams.

NNTP-Posting-Host: tartarus.uwa.edu.au

BOTH THE AUSTRALIAN NBL AND THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SBL WILL SEE 
3 LITHUANIAN BRONZE MEDALLISTS IN 1993 PLAYING IN THEIR COMPETITIONS.

RIMAS KURTINITIS :

Rimas, an ex-soviet gold medallist and a member of the 1992 Lithuanian
olympic team which won bronze will be playing for the Australian NBL's
newsest franchise, the "TOWNSEVILLE SUNS" based in Queensland Australia.

Rimas, a quality european player, and ranked behind Marchulonis and
Sabonis on the team should give the Suns the impetus for big things in
1993


DARIUS DIMAVICIUS & ARUNUS VISOCKAS :

The Western Australian SBL will see two Barcelona Basketball Medallists
in their compeitition in 1993. The Goldfields GIants have taken the lead
in the pre-season SBL race for import players by announcing the signing
of two members of the Barcelona Olympics bronze medal-winning Lithuanian
team.

Darius Dimavicius and Arunus Visockas will link up with the Giants in
March after completing a tour with the Lithuanian side. 

Visockas, 200cm tall, a member of former USSR national team, and
Dimavicius, 205cm, both have the ability to play as a centre or power
forward.

Giants cheif executive Karen Scruth said the team had opted for a change
of direction. "We felt we needed a change after having 11 American
Imports in the past Three Years," Scruth said.

"And after watching last year's olympics we thought it would be a good
idea to go to Europe."

The Giants recently became the first country (W.A) team to be owned by
its own assoication after the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Basketball Association
bought out the 50% private ownership share.

NBL : PERTH WILDCATS LOOK FOR BIG NAME EUROPEAN STAR

Ex-aussie head coach (& barcelona coach) Dr Adrian Hurley said he would
be looking to Europe and the USA for a top quality star who is well
established. The Wildcats have big bucks to spend with the exit of 4 big
name players, expect an MVP scoring machine forward/centre for the Perth
Wildcats. Either an ex-NBA or current NBA player, or an Olympian from
Europe. Oscar Schimdt at the 1990 World Championships showed interest in
playing basketball in Australia, and Hurley will be a link with Schimdt
and the Wildcats.

This *is* an entertaining tale.  Did it really
affect the players so much?  By your account,
the Warriors used up between six and twelve fouls
(it couldn't have been Mullin in on it each oc-
casion), and they were down by at least seven
points when Lucas pulls Smith with, what, well
under ten minutes to play?  The Spurs could have
ignored what was going on, they could have taken
it as a tribute to their potency, but instead
they fall apart to the extent of losing that lead?

I'm not picking on you, JDOIII.  There's no
question in my mind that officiating, particu-
larly when some highly visible West Coast teams
are playing, is wildly inconsistent.  Maybe
Coach Lucas can use this game to help deliver
the sermon on Focus and Concentration that the
Spurs apparently need.

I say any records set against the Mavs this year should go into the book
with asterisks beside them.

How bad is Dallas?  It looks like they have their sights set on being the
worst team (relatively speaking) in NBA history.  I figured they'd compete
for worst team in the league with Minnesota and Denver, but they're in a
class by themselves.

This is one time when stats don't lie:

PPG		 99.1	tied for 24th
opp. PPG	117.4	27th
PPG diff	-18.3	27th (26th is Denver, -8.7)
FG%		 .421	27th (26th is Denver, .447)
opp. FG%	 .512	27th (26th is Atlanta, .499)
FG% diff	-.091	27th (26th is Atlanta, -.044)

The Mavs aren't as bad in the turnover and rebounding categories, with
1.3 more turnovers per game than their opponents and a .498 overall
rebounding percentage.  But a scoring difference that's almost 10 points
worse than the next worst in the league is just incredible.

By the way, which team other than the Lakers has lost to Dallas this
season?

Hi, I just have a few questions.

1) When a shot is blocked, does it count as a Field Goal Attempt?

2) When a player misses a shot and is called for a charge, is it a FGA.

3) Do blocked shots and steals count as turnovers. If not, what does
constitute a turnover.

4) Can goaltending be called on a missed Free Throw Attempt.

Injured with a broken hand.  Should return either this week or next.  Jay 
Guidinger is the one that will probably be put back on the DL, or perhaps

I don't believe staying under the salary cap would really be an
issue.  For all intents and purposes, Jackson isn't under contract,
so would their ability to pay him have anything to do with their
acquiring him?  I don't understand the salary cap rules so I can't
say for certain.

Personally, I'd see that as a great addition, especially with KJ's
recent injury problems.  In addition, it would surely gurantee a
good future for the Suns.  With Barkley, Chambers, and Ainge all
looking to retire rather soon, it would be nice to have the likes
of Jim Jackson and Richard Dumas playing with KJ, Majerle, Miller,
and co..

Steve Sheffler is also available at the 4 or maybe 5 position. When
Rich King returns that will be yet another big man. Gosh, prior to this
discussion I didn't think that Seattle had that many big men!

Also, Gerald Paddio is available at the 3 position. I suspect that he
might be the odd man out when King returns.
