Blockbuster deals satisfy Mavs
Nelson clears all except two from his roster
"This team needs leaders, and none of them was willing to accept that responsibility," Derek Harper said. "All they saw was losing, losing, losing. That was frustrating for them."
DALLAS — In New Jersey, basketball fans think Don Nelson is an alias for Santa Claus.
The Associate Press
In Dallas, fans are toasting him for dumping a bunch of underachievers.
Is he "Nellie the Fox" or just plain "Crazy Nellie"?
Unfazed by the buzz he created by sending the Dallas Mavericks' top four scorers to the New Jersey Nets for four players, "Trader" Don was working the phones again yesterday.
The players with the longest tenures on the Dallas team are rookie Samaki Walker, who was signed in August, and Harper, who signed as a free agent in July. Harper has been rumored in trade talks with Houston.
"There's no law that says you can't sell what you just bought."
Nelson said, laughing. "I do what I think is right. If I find good reason. I do it."
But why? Who's left?
In just 11 days on the job, fresh from unemployment in Hawaii, general manager Nelson has flushed away what he called a bad attitude of players sleepwalking through their jobs.
"Some people think I'm a risk taker," he said. "But I feel comfortable with what I've done so far. It will take awhile to see. Some think it was a good deal. Some think it was a bad deal. And to quote Yogi Berra 'the other half of the people don't care.'
"Things were in bad shape with the Mavericks. I had to make a change. I was shocked by some of the things I found. It made me sick."
The Mavericks got 7-foot-6 center Shawn Bradley, forward Ed O'Bannon and point guards Robert Pack and Khalid Reeves. The Nets also received guards Sam Cassell and George McCloud and center Eric Montross.
Nelson fired uncaring center Oliver Miller, traded unhappy Jamal Mashburn to Miami for three players, and completed the overhaul Monday night with a nine-player trade that sent Jim Jackson to the New Jersey Nets along with All-Star Chris Gatling and three others.
A change? An asteroid hitting Reunion Arena couldn't have made a bigger impact than Nelson's scorched earth policy.
"Houston hasn't called so maybe I should call them," Nelson said. "But Derek will be on the team if he wants to be on the team. He and I have a great relationship. A trade will only happen if he wants it to happen."
The trade is believed to be the largest between two NBA teams in the last 25 years.
The blockbuster swap followed Friday's trade of Mashburn to the Heat for three players and the December deal that sent Jason Kidd to Phoenix for Cassell, A.C. Green and Michael Finley.
The ballyhooed three J's — Jackson, Mashburn and Kidd
"I would welcome a trade to a team like Houston," Harper said. "But, if not, I'd rather stay put."
Raleigh rejects NHL offer
The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — A Charlotte businessman who wanted to bring the National Hockey League to North Carolina withdrew his application just one day before the league was expected to consider expanding.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and the league's executive committee scheduled a meeting today in New York to pick at least four cities for expansion from 10 applications.
Felix Sabates of Charlotte cited a lack of cooperation by Raleigh's mayor, Tom Fetzer, its city council and leaders of the Centennial Authority, which was formed to finance, build and manage a new arena near Carter-Finley Stadium, as his reason for dropping out of the running.
"Frankly, we could no longer compromise our credibility and reputations with the (NHL)," Sabates wrote in a letter faxed Monday to authority chairman Steve Stroud. "Misinformation and misrepresentations by you and your representatives in regard to the lease and commitments you have made ... forced us to resign our efforts.
"We can no longer be a party to this charade. We frankly question your motives for initially inviting
our ownership group into the process."
Last week, Sabates noted that the 13-member authority was filled with people with close ties to North Carolina State University, including Stroud, a prominent Wolfback sports booster.
Sabates contended that the hockey effort was used as a ploy by authority members who wanted to complete the funding for the arena and give the Wolfpack a new basketball home.
"Whoever came up with the master plan for North Carolina State, it worked," Sabates said Monday.
Stroud denied Sabates' charges that the ownership group was tricked.
"That's absolutely not true, and he knows that's not the case," Stroub said. "It's always been our goal to put a major-league team in the building. The building was specifically designed to bring major league sports to Raleigh, and that design was in place before Mr. Sabates ever came along."
Authority leaders also denied Sabates' accusation
"The venture was never conceived for the glorification of one or two people and therefore we regret that our mayor and the authority chairman have been singled out by Mr. Sabates," the authority said in a statement.
Magic coach dismissed after victories vanish
ORLANDO, Fla. — Brian Hill was fired yesterday as coach of the Orlando Magic, less than two seasons after reaching the NBA Finals. He was unable to shake his club from a slump since the All-Star break.
General manager John Gabriel met with players yesterday morning and informed them of the decision. A late afternoon news conference was called to announce the move and a replacement, presumably Magic assistant Richie Adubato.
The firing apparently was prompted by complaints from players that Hill's relationship with the team was deteriorating and a change was needed to have any chance of salvaging the season.
Several players emerged from the locker room and either declined to comment or said they were not certain what was going to happen. However, co-captain Horace Grant spoke of Hill in the past tense.
"You have to get your team up, and in some cases he didn't do that. But a lot of that falls back on us also." Grant said.
Grant confirmed that the players held a meeting following a loss Friday night in Minnesota, then related their concerns to Gabriel during a conversation by speaker
phone.
However, he and Penny Hardaway denied that one or both of them had gone directly to the general manager and — as the team's highest paid players — were responsible for the firing.
"Win, lose or draw it's always going to fall on myself and it's going to fall on Horace. "Hardaway said. "But we just have to take the heat. Whatever comes, comes. But I know it isn't my fault or it isn't Horace's fault the reason why this stuff is happening."
Hill, who led the Magic to 50, 57 and 60 victories the last three seasons, received a three-year contract extension last season worth $750,000 per year.
The Magic's next two games are at home — today against Portland and Friday against Denver.
With Shaquille O'Neal now playing for the Los Angeles Lakers and Hardaway sidelined much of this season because of injuries, the team is off to a 24-25 start and stuck in a five-game losing streak since the All-Star break.
The players reportedly voted 12-0 to take their concerns to management. Grant called it a majority decision, but shrugged off the suggestion the team had lost faith in Hill.
