Page 8 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1978 Iceman says his salary not cool United Press International SAN ANTONIO — Lanky George Gervin led the National Basketball Association in scoring last year, but when it comes to salary he falls in the mediocre range. Gervin was probably the lowest paid all-pro selection of last season and recently was quoted as saying, “I feel cheated” because two other San Antonio Spurs make consid erably more money than he does. However, Gervin says that he does not want to put the Spurs to the wall, that he wants to stay in San Antonio. The Spurs have expressed a desire to make Gervin happy. For that reason, the Spurs two months ago reopened negotiations with an agent for the 6-7, 185-pound scoring ace, although Gervin has five years remaining on his contract at a salary reported to be in the $150,000 to $180,000 range. As the Sept. 15 training camp nears, the negotiations have become more serious. Both Spurs center Billy Paultz and forward Larry Kenon are paid more than Gervip, in the neighbor hood of $200,000 apiece. What concerns Gervin and his agent, attorney Pat Healy of Tacoma, Wash., is that Gervin does not appear in the NBA Player’s As sociation list of 30 players who earn $250,000 or more, headed by Den ver’s David Thompson at $800,000, and New Orleans’ Pete Maravich and Los Angeles’ Kareem Abdul- Jabbar at $625,000 each. Gervin, who began playing bas ketball on dirt courts in Detroit, edged out Thompson and Maravich for the 1977-78 NBA scoring title with a 27.2 points clip while leading the Spurs to the Central Division championship. “We have made George an offer which would be for a substantially higher amount of money than that for which he is presently con tracted,” said Spurs president Angelo Drossos. Healy predicted that if Gervin were unsuccessful in the re negotiation of his contract that he would be traded to another team. $10 million. That would certainly give the Spins enough money to build a competitive team,’’ he said. But Healy said that the Spurs so far have too many strings attached to their offer. “George is commited to a trade at such time as the Spurs feel it is in their best interest, Healy said. “Having an unhappy player could be a disruptive factor and I’m sure the Spurs wouldn’t like that.” “They wanted to add more years to the existing contract and to put in other considerations that made it impossible for George or any other player to accept,” the attorney said. Healy said Los Angeles, Golden State and “several East Coast teams’ have expressed interest in obtaining the guard. “San Antonio could sell him for “All we want is for George’s salary to be brought in line with those of other first-team All Pros. We re not asking that he be the highest paid player in the NBA or anything like that. Remember George was the leading scorer in the league and the CBS-Chevrolet Most Valuable player last year. "He’s probably the lowest paid player in recent history to do those things. ” PLAY & HfZOOD oo THESE PRICES G00P THORS FRI & SAT AUGUST 3-4-5- IN CASH PRIZES QUANTITY RIGHTS RESERVED Odds Chart as of June 1, 1978 MTS BINGO. i IT'S C/4 BOS. i/rS FUN!
