In what could result in the third walkout by a sports union in less than two years, the NBAPA with an average salary of $246,000 confirmed Thursday its player representatives unanimously voted for an April 2 deadline for conclusion of negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement. "We are ready to continue to negotiate until that date," NBAPA executive Charles Grantham said, "but we are willing to take whatever steps are necessary to reach an agreement." vice-preside- The union has been without a contract since last summer but had publicly refused to set a timetable for .a successful conclusion of talks.

The 1982 National Football League players strike lasted 57 days, requiring a revised playoff system. An NBA spokesman admitted a walkout would hurt the league. "A strike would be harmful and something that we have been trying to avoid," the spokesman said.

"There has been more free agency, more movement ... we'd like to develop a framework under which the league can survive nd continue to grow. The average team loses more than $700,000. To keep on going the way we have leads to more instability." But Grantham said the union is d getting nowhere in the talks. "We have been negotiating since last August," Grantham said. "This has not been inconsistent this is not the first time we entered into a season without an agreement." Grantham, speaking for the union because NBAPA general counsel Larry Fieisher was said to be out of town until next week, said negotiations were ongoing about "once everv week until ten days before the Game." According to Grantham, though, the league submitted a proposal that was "an attempt to break the union." The talks apparently snagged after the union rejected a revenue-sharinplan whereby player salaries would be tied to the success of the league. Teams' salaries would be limited in return for a guaranteed fixed percentage of revenues, which would then be dispersed to the players according to a plan developed by the Players Association. "We are looking for an agree en now-stalle- All-St- g ment that basically would increase the benefits package," Grantham said. "We're looking for a modifying increase. cost-of-livi- "But the proposal from the league asks us to give back pension benefits, severance pay, reduce the roster to 10 men and eliminate certain medical plans. We see this as an attempt to destroy the union." Grantham said both sides are in favor of a revenue-sharin- g plan, but the NBAPA would like to wait until the conclusion of the Oscar Robertson Agreement after the 1986-8season. "The league made a proposal to share revenues," he said. "That plan would place a limit on salaries a sort of percentage of per team the gross idea. We rejected that plan about 10 days ago. We came to the conclusion that the plan would be best served after '86-8season. There could be legal problems involving the Robertson Agreement and a hardship to free agents over the next couple of years. It would - 7 - 7 certainly curtail their potential market value." A 1976 settlement of the Oscar Robertson antitrust suit established the right of first refusal, whereby a club which might lost a free agent has 15 days to match the offer submitted to the player by another dub or allow the player to leave.
