Lakers win toss, will draft first
NEW YORK (AP) - The Los Angeles
Lakers won the coin toss from the San
Diego Clippers yesterday, and will
make the first selection in the June 29
National Basketball Association college
draft.
Officials of both clubs said they would
choose either James Worthy of North
Carolina, Dominique Wilkins of
Georgia or Terry Cummings of DePaul,
not necessarily in that order. All three
forwards left college before their senior
years to turn pro.
"WE WON'T trade our pick," said
Lakers executive Jerry West. "All
three are outstanding kids. We have"
pretty much determined who we'll
take. We have them ranked but we
have to visit the coaches and really zero
in on one player."
The player most coveted by the
Lakers, 7-foot-4 center Ralph Sampson,
decided last Friday to remain at the
University of Virginia for his senior
year. . Before Sampson's announ-
cement, Los Angeles owner Jerry Buss
had offered San Diego owner Donald P.
Sterling $6 million to guarantee the
Lakers the first pick. The Clippers
rejected the offer.
Commissioner Lawrence O'Brien
conducted the coin flip at the NBA of-
fices here via a telephone hookup with
Lakers who owned the first-round pick
at the Eastern Conference's worst teami
the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Clip-
pers who had the worst record in
the Western Conference.
THE LAKERS obtained the
Cavaliers' first-round draft choice Feb.
15 1980 in a trade that sent Don Ford
and the Lakers 1980 No. 1 pick to
Cleveland for Butch Lee and the Cavs'
top selection in 1982.
Neither team wanted to make the call
so O'Brien flipped to determine who
,uld choose heads or tails. The
Lakers won that toss when the century-
old silver dollar came up heads, and
they selected heads again.
West said heads or tails there were no
losers Thursday.
"IF WE HAD lost the flip, it would not
have disrupted us at all. There is really
lgood quality at the second pick so San
Diego shouldn't be too disappointed."
Ted Podleski general manager of the
Clippers, said Cummings,Worthy and
Wilkins are too good to pass up, even
though the Clippers badly need a
quality guard.
"Our greatest need is in the back-
court but that doesn't mean we will
draft to fill the need. We are thankful
and feel blessed we can get any of those
forwards" Podleski said.
The coin toss, draws and previous
trades left the order as follows:
Los Angeles from Cleveland, San
Diego, Utah, Dallas, Kansas City, New
York, Chicago, Indiana, Detroit, Atlan-
ta, Portland, Cleveland from
Washington via Detroit, New Jersey,
Golden State, Denver, Houston, Kansas
City from Phoenix via New Jersey,
Portland from San Antonio, Seattle,
Milwaukee, New Jersey from Los
Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston.
No agreement for NFL
NEW YORK (AP)- The National
Football League Players Association
and the Management Council, which
represents the-28 franchise owners in
contract negotiations, ended two days
of meetings yesterday with almost no
agreement on any of the issues.
The two sides parted after seven
hours of discussing a 14-point agenda at
a hotel here and agreed only to meet
again June 7-9 in Washington and to set
up a subcommittee to study the pension
fur .
that of the previous day when both sides
felt they had at least established a line
of communication.
"It was a short honeymoon," said
Jack Donlan, the executive director of
the Management Council.
"It was a total disappointment," said
Ed Garvey, executive director of.the
NFLPA. "They ask questions and
reject what we say without putting for-
th their own proposals."
The current collective bargaining
agreement expires July 15, after which
the NFLPA is threatening a strike and
management is threatening to counter
with a lockout.
Bears say no to Ferragamo
CHICAGO (AP)- The Chicago Bears
flatly denied a report Wednesday that
they would acquire quarterback Vince
Ferragamo from the Montreal Alouet-
tes of the Canadian Football League.
"No chance, period," Bears owner
George Halas said. "We're all set at
quarterback with Vince Evans and our
No. 1 draft choice Jim McMahon."
A FORMER boss of the Alouettes,
Harry Ornest, said earlier Wednesday
that he and Ferragamo's agent, David
Fishoff, had reached an agreement
returning the former UCLA quarter-
back to the Los Angeles Rams thence to
the Bears ina trade.
Halas said the Bears had talked
previously with the Rams about
acquiring Ferragamo, but "everything
disappeared when we acquired Mc-
