Pacers' By RON POLLACK Talk about an unlikely turn of events. Last year, Michigan basketball player Paul Heuerman was chosen in the fourth round of the National Basketball Association draft by the Phoenix Suns. Heuerman lasted until the last series of cuts whereupon he was let go from the squad. Thus, he enrolled in the Florida law school with his basketball career seemingly over. SO GUESS who called Heuerman on the phone three weeks ago as he was preparing for finals? The Indiana Pacers. "I guess they had talked to Phoenix, and Phoenix must have said some nice things," said Heuerman, who was at Chicago sends Gilmore to Spurs SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) - Artis Gilmore, an all-star in nine of his 11 pro basketball seasons, was acquired by the San Antonio Spurs from the Chicago Bulls yesterday for backup center Dave Corzine and starting forward Mark Olberding. Gilmore, 32, was an all-star in each of the five years he played for Kentucky in the American Basketball Association. Along with Julius Erving and David Thompson, his talent was a major fac- tor in the National Basketball Association decision to accept five ABA teams into the NBA. GILMORE has been with the Bulls for six years and has played in the NBA All-Star game four times, including last season when he averaged 18.5 points, was ninth in the league in rebounds with a 10.2 average and was first in field goal percentage and fourth in blocked shots. Bulls General Manager Rod Thorn told a crowded news conference in the Bulls' Chicago office, "I wish Artis Gilmore nothing but success in San An- tonio. He was a class act while he was with the Bulls." Thorn added that he feels "this trade is a good one for both teams and all the players involved." THE BULLS' poor performance last season - they were 34-48 - at times led Gilmore to consider retirement. "Maybe it (retirement) will happen after this season, maybe next, but it will be soon, very soon," he said last December. "I'm tired of losing," Gilmore said at the time. He has been in the playoffs only twice in six years with the Bulls. BUT HE hinted that a winning Fsituation could cool his ardor to retire and in the Spurs he will be going to a team that has made the playoffs all six years since they came into the NBA from the ABA. Corzine's future had been in limbo since he announced a week ago that he had signed an offer sheet with the New Jersey Nets. Local newspapers repor- ted the proposed pact was for $3.25 million over five years. Under NBA rules, the Spurs had 15 days to match the Nets' offer or let Cor- zine, who became a free agent at the end of last season, go to New Jersey.
