McGinnis-NB
NEW YORK (P)-Lawyers for George
McGinnis, star forward for the Indiana
Pacers of the American Basketball
Association, filed suit yesterday against
the National Basketball Association and
its 18 teams to determine whether Mc-
Ginnis can play for any team other
than the Philadelphia 76ers.
Irwin Weiner, McGinnis' manager,
said a preliminary injunction and a
temporary restraining order were filed
in U.S. district court here to prevent
the NBA from enforcing its draft rule,
which binds McGinnis to the 7ers
McGinnis wants to switch leagues
but he doesn't want to play with the
76ers, who have refused to deal those
rights. When McGinnis left college
in 1971, he was drafted by the 76ers
in the NBA but signed instead with
Indiana in the ABA.
"I just don't want to play in Phila-
delphia," McGinnis said.
McGinnis has a unique two-year con-
tract with the Pacers, which includes
an option to buy his freedom from
Indiana for $85,000.
"We don't think a team that does
not sign a player has the right to hold

Jabbar rumors disclaimed
MILWAUKEE (lP)-Milwaukee Bucks
President Bill Alverson confirmed yes-
terday that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has
been mentioned in trade talks with
several National Basketball Associa-
tion teams but stressed they are not
actively trying to trade the star center.
Alverson also emphatically denied
published reports that a three-way
trade is in the works to send the 7-foot-
2 Abdul-Jabbar to the New York
Knicks.
The rumored deal would send At-
lanta's Lou Hudson and New York's
Walt Frazier and John Gianelli to
Milwaukee, while the Knicks would
give the Hawks $1 million.
"Sure, we've talked to people for
six years, but that doesn't mean he's
on the trading block," Alverson said.
"We talk to people all the time, but
that certainly doesn't mean he's on
the trading block. To say he's on the
block and we're trying to unload him-
that's crazy."
Abdul-Jabbar, who earns an esti-
fight
mated $400,000 a year, has one more
year on his contract with the Bucks,
who retain an option to his services
another year after that. He repeatedly
has said he will honor his contract.

Celtics acquire Scott
PHOENIX, ARIZ. (IP)-The Phoenix
Suns traded their top scorer, guard
Charlie Scott, yesterday to the Boston
Celtics for Paul Westphal and second
round-draft picks this year and next.
Jerry Colengelo, general manager
of the National Basketball Associa-
tion Suns, said he felt Scott, who
averaged 24.3 points a game last
season, was not the team player
Phoenix needed.
"It takes a team concept of play
to win in this league," Colangelo said.
"Although Charlie Scott is a talent,
our decision was made on the basis
that Scott's talents were of an indi-
vidual nature and did not fit into a
team style of play."
Ford's condition stable
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. R)-Baseball
rages
Hall of Famer Whitey Ford remained
in the intensive care unit at Long
Island Jewish Hospital yesterday but
his condition was reported satisfactory
and stable.
Ford, pitching coach of the New
York Yankees, was expected to be
moved to a regular room within the
next day or so.
Namath ready to talk
NEW YORK (P)-Now that he has
turned down the W o r l d Football
League's $4 million offer, quarterback
Joe Namath is ready to talk again
with his old employers, the New York
Jets.
And they can't wait to talk to him.
The Jets had offered Namath $1 mil-
lion for a three-year contract and then
bided their time, waiting for Joe to
decide whether he'd accept all that
WFL money instead.
Namath ended the suspense with a
s i m p 1 e, single - sentence statement
Thursday, turning his back on the
most lucrative contract offer ever
