The Oregon tennis teams finished

past four years. Only this time, he
broke the record for career singles
victories.

the nation, 6-3, 6-3 en route to win

The women split their home con
test with the Washington schools.

Panova’s victory over No. 80 Claire
Carter as the Huskies swept the dou

three in three sets.

from another doubles-point loss to
win five of six singles matches, in
cluding junior Courtney Nagle’s 6-4,
6-2 win over No. 77 Lorena Arias.
Panova improved to 9-1 on the
season by defeating Orolya Sallai 3

the victory by battling back down 4
1 in the first and third sets to win 7
5,3-6,6-4.

taking the Tigers’ No. 1 player,
Arnar Sigurdsson, 6-0, 7-6. Duck

Payton poised for playoffs
Sam Smith
Chicago Tribune (KRT)
CHICAGO — NBA sources who
may or may not know say the Chica
go Bulls are talking about trading Ja
mal Crawford to ... oh, right, we’re
done with that.
The trading deadline has passed,
which means the next day that mat
ters for the Bulls is May 19, the date
of the draft lottery.
Meanwhile, much of the rest of the
NBA is in the stretch run for the
playoffs. Put the Bucks in that cate
gory, Milwaukee having made a bold
move in acquiring future Hall of
Fame guard Gary Payton less than a
year after trading All-Star Glenn
Robinson. The move paired him
with another point guard in Milwau
kee, Sam Cassell.
Thirty years ago, people were say
ing two ball-oriented star point
guards never could work, when Walt
Frazier and Earl Monroe were unit
ed in New York.
“It reminds me a little of Walt Fra
zier and Earl Monroe, where you
didn’t know which one was the point
guard, which one was the shooting
guard,” said Bucks general manager
Ernie Grunfeld, who watched the
duo win a title for the Knicks in 1973
when he was a high school star in
New York.
Maybe Grunfeld is right, though
the Bucks didn’t address their

biggest needs of post offense and re
bounding. Still, they completed a
season sweep of Portland in Payton’s
first game Saturday, the only Eastern
team to have swept both Portland
and Dallas this season, as Payton
and Cassell combined for 38 points
and 17 assists.
“Everyone expects controversy,”
Payton said of the pairing with Cas
sell, who started at shooting guard.
“But this is two best friends playing
together, helping each other. Why
can’t it (going to the Finals, as he
did with Karl in 1996) happen
again? If you ask me, they — I
mean we — got enough pieces in
place to make a run. I know this
much; I’m happy to be back in the
playoffs. To be on a team going to
the playoffs and that can make
some noise if we come together.”
And if they don’t, it could — and
perhaps, should — mean the endof
coach George Karl’s tenure
in Milwaukee.
Since coming to the Bucks in
1998, Karl has joked about being
unable to coach Payton again, say
ing Milwaukee would be too small
for Payton: “I would have to rent a
helicopter to fly him in from Chica
go every day.” Karl also said he’d
have to buy stock in an aspirin
company. Yes, Payton can give
headaches to both teams. He re

teammates except Brent Barry by
the time of the trade. But he’s also a
free agent and making a run with
the Bucks would help his market
value. Will he stay in Milwaukee? It
doesn’t seem likely.
“It’s not a life sentence. It’s two
plus months. That’s it,” Payton said
after the deal.
If he doesn’t stay, the Bucks have
Michael Redd to replace Allen and
have promising youngster Desmond
Mason from the deal. Most impor
tant, the franchise saves perhaps
#10 million in luxury tax and es
crow, which in a sale could mean the
difference between the Bucks stay
ing or leaving Wisconsin.
