Lakers deal Jones for Hornets’ Rice
By John Nadel
The Associated Press
INGLEWOOD, Calif. — The re
tooling of the Los Angeles Lakers
was completed Wednesday.
Now, it will be determined if the
makeover results in the champi
onship they so badly desire.
The Lakers, believing they
were in need of an accurate out
side shooter, acquired one of the
NBA’s best in Glen Rice from the
Charlotte Hornets along with for
ward J.R. Reid and reserve point
guard B.J. Armstrong.
In return, the Hornets receive
All-Star guard Eddie Jones and
center Elden Campbell.
To make room on the respec
tive rosters, the Lakers waived re
serve forward Corie Blount and
the Hornets waived forward Joe
Wolf.
The blockbuster deal, rumored
for over a month, was made on the
eve of the league’s trade deadline.
“It’s a very difficult thing to
trade such good players, and es
pecially so when they are such
quality people,” said Jerry West,
the Lakers’ executive vice presi
dent for basketball operations.
“But in Glen Rice, we feel we’ve
acquired the best shooter in the
NBA and also one of the league’s
best players.
“We feel this takes us one step
closer to our ultimate goal of hav
ing an NBA championship
team.”
The Lakers, who reached the
Western Conference finals last
May before being swept by the
Utah Jazz, are going for their first
championship since 1988 and
the days of Showtime, orchestrat
ed by Magic Johnson.
They won five titles during the
1980s.
The 25 percent turnover of
their roster followed by two
weeks the firing of coach Del Har
ris and hiring of Kurt Rambis as
his successor, as well as the sign
ing of forward Dennis Rodman,
the NBA’s leading rebounder for
the last seven season
Hood
Continued from Page 7A
behind him, Brown slowly
walked across midcourt to build
tension. Kent pumped his fist on
the Oregon bench: this was the
guy he wanted at the line.
The Ducks led by just one
point as the senior walked to the
line for perhaps the last time in
his Oregon career. No matter,
Brown held the ball down low by
his knees, then slowly brought
the ball up by his chest and let it
rip — right in the heart of the net.
Georgia Tech called a timeout
and Brown walked to the bench.
Then, as if right out of a corny
Hollywood screenplay — or
sports column — the lights
around the rim of Mac Court’s
ceiling sparked, then buzzed,
then went black.
The officials huddled together.
ESPN's cameramen rubbed their
eyes in disbelief. Oregon Athletic
Director Bill Moos squirmed and
contemplated pulling his hair
out by the roots.
After a five-minute delay, the
game was allowed to continue in
near-darkness. Brown was not
phased. He stepped back to the
free-throw line, and in the same
exaggerated motion, put the
game out of reach.
"I used to imagine that sce
nario when I was younger, and
I’d step to the line in total dark
ness,” Brown said coolly after the
game. “I think that helped me
tonight.”
And Wednesday’s circus end
ed with a whimper.
Joel Hood is the Emerald’s sports ed
itor. Thanks for finishing.
