Tim Duncan, three trades highlight NBA draft ■ DEALS: The trades made the Spurs’ selection of Duncan with the first-overall selection almost an afterthought CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NBA draft turned into a trade show Wednesday night, although the one blockbuster deal that the city of Chicago feared — a swap of Scottie Pippen — didn’t mate rialize. Three trades involving six first-round picks and eight veterans had been made by the time the first round ended, al though the biggest of them — an eight player trade between Philadelphia and New Jersey — was put on hold for a few days. The swapping, the intrigue and the back-room dealing made the draft’s opening moment — the selection of Wake Forest center Tim Duncan by the San Antonio Spurs — almost seem like an afterthought just a couple hours af ter it happened. A trade involving the second, seventh and 21st picks as well as five veter ans was made by the 76ers and Nets, according to sources who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The trade cannot be formally an nounced until a grievance is settled be tween the 76ers and Celtics regarding last week’s now-dead trade of Michael Cage and Clarence Weatherspoon for Dino Radja, whom failed a physical Tuesday night. The deal will send No. 2 pick Keith Van Horn, forwards Don MacLean and Lucious Harris and another player, per haps Cage, to New Jersey for guard Jim Jackson, center Eric Montross and draft picks Tim Thomas (No. 7) and Antho ny Parker (No. 21). Milwaukee traded its first-round pick, Cincinnati forward Danny Fort son, along with veterans Johnny New man and David Wood, to the Denver Nuggets for center Ervin Johnson. In another deal, Portland and Dallas swapped picks Chris Antsey and Turn to DEALS, Page 8 NBA DRAFT 1. San Antonio, Tim Duncan 2. Philadelphia, Keith Van Horn 3. Boston, Chauncey Billups 4.

Clippers, Maurice Taylor ' Ems return home Friday for homestand If there was ever an offensive slump, the Eugene Emeralds have found it. The Ems, who in the midst of a three game losing streak, finish up their five game series against the Boise Hawks (5 3) today and return to Eugene desperately in need of some wins. In their eight games, through Tuesday, the Ems (2-6) had been shutout four times and outscored 67 29 over the eight games. However, the Ems’ lack of offensive is not the only thing to blame. In the last two games, Emeralds’ pitchers have giv en up 17 hits in each game and a com bined 28 runs. Friday the Ems will play their first home game since defeating Everett 8-7 last Saturday. The first-year Salem-Keiz er Volcanoes will travel south to take on the last-place Ems at Civic Stadium at 7:05. Salem-Keizer (3-5) has been getting the hitting while its pitching has not been strong.

MICHAEL CRISP/Emerald Laurelwood Golf Course, a nine-hole, par-35 course, offers a student discount with University identification. Opportunity for all at Laurelwood By Joel Hood Freelance Sports Reporter For the golfer on a student budget, Laurelwood Golf Course, located at 2700 Columbia, is the ideal place to hack your weekend away. At only $7 for a round of nine holes during the week, Laurelwood is the student’s answer to summer boredom. ■ Proximity to campus: 9. About five minutes by car or 15 minutes by foot. ■ Cost: 8. Seven dollars for nine holes during the week (with UO student identification), $9 on the weekend. The cost moves to$12forl8 holes during the week and $14 on the weekend, not a bad rate for a par-35 course close to campus. ■ Course difficulty: 6 in dry conditions, 8 in wet. Lau relwood Golf Course is perhaps best known for two things: poor fairway drainage during rainy weather and notoriously slow play on the weekend. The course's severe slopes create a fairway basin, which during the winter months can look like a flooded rice plain. Beginner or intermediate golfers may find it difficult to elevate the ball in rainy conditions. The wet fairways offer little resistance to the club head and there fore produces a lot of flubbed shots. In dry weather the course in manageable for a golfer of any ability as long as the ball is kept in the fairway. ■ Course Conditions: 7. Again, this depends greatly on the month you chose to play Laurelwood. It is recom mended that a beginning golfer stick to late spring or summer months. The greens are small but generally flat and will hold the ball on most fairway shots. The greens are slow and take some getting used to, but the riddle is solved after the second hole or so. The putts rarely have much brake, so it can be a good course to try out a new putter. ■ Speed of play: 4. If your a weekend golfer don’t make any plans for the evening, you maybe just putting out on the 18th hole come dinnertime. Laurel wood unfortunately attracts a lot of beginners whom haven’t yet learned the speed of the game. If you get be hind one of these foursomes, bring a flashlight and maybe a sleeping bag. ■ Best Holes: 5 and 7. Hole number five is a beautiful, long par-4 that can be reached in two with a straight drive or one hell of a nice approach shot. The seventh hole is a shorter par-4 that begs to be driven from the tee. The ap proach shot lifts to a scenic, elevated green surrounded by tall pines. ■ GOLF: Course offers moderate challenge to golfers of all abilities during summer months This is the first part of a Summer Recreation series that will appear every Thursday in the Emerald.
