Sonics, Lakers swap big men
SEATTLE (AP) The Seattle
SuperSonicx. seeking immediate
help, now have Sam Perkins.
The I,os Angeles Lakers, plan
ning for the future, own Benoit
Benjamin anil Doug Christie.
The teams swapped players
Monday, with the SuperSonic*
shipping Benjamin, their little
used. high-priced center, along
with unsigned top draft pick
Christie to the Inkers for
Perkins, a forward-center
The 7-foot Benjamin was
acquired by the Son tea in a trade
with the Los Angeles Clippers
Feh. 20. 19‘it. He played 5| sea
sons with the Clippers
For the Sonii s. the trade was
addition by subtraction Ben
jamin wasn't playing mud) for
coach Georg** Karl and the team
knew it wasn't going to sign
Christie.
"I would like to wish Benoit
the best of luck." Sonlcs presi
dent Bob Whitiitt said “It's
unfortunate that it didn't work
out for him in this organiza
tion."
Inkers general manager |erry
West said he got two good play
ers in Benjamin and Christie
and got younger players at tho
same time.
"We feel this is a good trade
for us as for the Sonics.” West
said "Benoit is a proven NBA
player with solid numbers and
is younger than Sam."
The Sonics are expected to
insert the fi-9 Perkins into the
starting lineup.
Seattle said Perkins would
join the team Thursday for prac
tice and play against the Kings
Friday night
"Acquiring Perkins gives us a
plaver who can sr.ore in the low
post, can pass the hall and can
play great post defense.” Whit
sitt said. "Sam is a two-position
player and. most of all. a proven
winner. His style of play should
fit In with what this team is try
ing to do."
The Sonics inherit Perkins'
six-year, $19.2 million contract
that he signed with the Uikers in
August 1990.
FIFE
Continued from Page 9
"I still can't believe (Green} booted me off the
team." Fife said I thought 1 may have been sus
pended for a couple of games, or maybe the rest
of the season But I didn't think I'd get the boot "
Then, of course, came the ultimate slap in the
face
On the night of Fife's expulsion from the team.
Oregon ended a 20-game. Pat - to losing streak and
furthered the irony of the whole situation hv start
ing a mini-winning streak Saturday night with a
win over Washington State
The fact the Dui ks are winning without Fife has
nothing to do with the fact Fife is gone. It does,
however, add to the stigma attached to Fife — the
man who gets no respect.
Fife said he is now planning on attending either
1 r
the University of Califomia-Riverside or Californio
Stale-Fullerton, where he will be eligible to play
next season.
Fife will leave Oregon, and with it he will Ittave
all the hud jokes and false expectations. Fife will
probably never make the NBA. But who's to say
that's what he wants?
Fife has never been known for his hard work on
the court, and he rarely, if ever, shows any emo
tion.
It could be that Fife plays basketball because it
is what people expect him to do. People expect
him to play hoops because of his size, expert him
to play hard, and expa t him to play well
The expectations finally wore on ol' "Bullet"
