| Show -- r ry- -- 'r t-- W's-- r-v j' v' t The Salt Lake Tribnre Sunday F!1)ua D11 26 1989 Reluctant to Deal Ortiz Jazz Talked ut Didn't Trade The NBA trade dealine passed quietly for the Jan Or did it? "We were very active" said General Manager David Cheeketta "but that's how we expected it to be You always have to look around and hunt to see if you can improve yourself" class of '85 joined new teams this week after being traded before the league's Thursday night deadline Wayman Tisdale the No 2 pick overall went from Indiana to Sacramento Joe Kleine (No 6) went from Sacramento to Boston Nccording to Checketts he "talked to every team in the league" during the 72 hours leading up to Thursday's trade deadline But I didn't see anything intrigu- ing enough to say that we really got close to a deal" Checketts said NBA Notes Wan the possiblity of a deal that could bring him back to Utah Instead Ainge ended up in Sacramento as part of the Kings' shakeup "We never got into what I'd call serious discussions about Ainge11 Checketts said "We talked but Boston was looking for a couple big guys plus a draft pick and we weren't ready to give up on guys like (Joni Ortiz or Eric Leckner or Mike Brown Not for a guard like Ainge" Ortiz of course was the Jazz player most often mentioned as part of any possible trade After all the rookie forward has been the final man off Coach Jerry Sloan's bench since - Detief - Schrempf (No 8) went from Dallas to Indiana Ed Pinckney originally drafted by the Suns went from Sacramento to Boston All four of these players of course have lived in Karl Malone's shadow since Draft Day Twelve teams passed Malone before the Jazz by default with the grabbed the future No 13 pick Except for No 1 pick Patrick Ewing there's not a player in that first round who's considered in Malone's class Schrempf in particular has lived in a glass house during his days in Dallas That's because the Mays were all set to take Malone before inexplicably they changed their mind at the last minute and selected Schrempf After be was traded Tuesday even Mays General Manager Norm Sonju admitted it was a dreadful mistake "There's no question in my mind that taking Karl Malone would have been an awesome thing and we made a mistake" Sonju told the Da ths Morning News "I chose never to say it publicly when Detlef played here because it doesn't do a bit of good to hurt someone's feelings But it's obvious He's not going to be as good as I thought he would be" Remember? This is how the Class of '85 was selected: 1 Ewing (Knicks) 2 Tisdale (Indiana) 3 Benoit Benjamin (Clippers) 4 Xavier McDaniel (Seattle) a Jon Koncak (Atlanta) 6 Kleine (Sacramento) 7 Chris Mullin (Golden State) 8 Schrempf (Dallas) 9- Charles Oakley (Cleveland traded to Chicago) 10 Pinckney (Phoenix) 11 Keith Lee (Chicago traded to Cleveland) 12 Kenny Green (Washington) 13 Malone (Utah) 14 Alfredrick Hughes (San Antonio) 15 Blair Rasmussen (Denver) 16 Bill Wennington (Dallas) 17 Uwe Blab (Dallas) 18 Joe Dumars (Detroit) 19 Steve Harris (Houston) 20 Sam Vincent (Boston) 21 Terry Catledge (Philade22 lphia) Jerry Reynolds (Milwaukee) 23 AC Green (Lakers) 24 Terry Porter (Portland) And here's bow I'd line 'em up now knowing what we know: 1 Sieving 2 Malone 3 Dumars 4 Mullin 5 McDaniel 6 Porter 7 Oakley 8 Tisdale 9 AC Green 10 Pinckney 11 Catledge 12 Kleine 13 Benjamin 14 Rasmussen 15 Koncak 18 Schrempf 17 Reynolds 18 Vincent 19 Wennington 20 Harris 21 Blab 22 Lee 23 Kenny Green 24 Hughes Logic: Ewing over Malone because Dumars over Mullin he's a center and McDaniel because he's Detroit's Mullin over best player McDaniel because of the Warriors' turnaround Porter edges Oakley because the Knicks got the benefit of Kleine over the doubt with Ewing Benjamin (No 13) because that creates an amusing picture: Can you Big Ben yuck reek imagine Kenny playing for Jerry Sloan? r '''''!: ----- er Checketts though insists that Jose's lack of playing time isn't an indication of unhappiness on the part of the Jan Neither is the fact that Ortiz d was part of almost every trade rumor that cropped up in the last month "Jose knows his name's been brought up" Checketts said "But he's a young guy who can get better We don't mind having him around Not at all" That suits Ortiz fine On Friday morning 12 hours after the trade deadline past Jose said "At the beginning of all this I was a little nervous But it was out of my hands So I didn't worry about it and it worked out OK I'm happy here" Considering the Jazz's depth at for ward and considering the long-tercontracts signed this season by Karl Malone and Thurl Bailey the question is simple: Why? After all Ortiz doesn't figure to get the kind of playing time a former d draft choice probably exg pects as long as those two forwards are happy and healthy "First of all there's a great group of people here" Ortiz explained "The other thing is we're winning Besides I know I can do something for this team It's just a matter of time?' o 9 On the move: Four members of the NBA's draft Jazz-relate- m first-roun- high-scorin- i ' "'' lir t': :: 72- 4- -r rf'fffilftw4J 5(w41 : - I l!: ill 4' 70 w '''''''''4 ' 4 '''75':::t '541 ile' ''Cf'':?'''- ' : Pl 4:4 44 3 5""—': i 4‘ 3 - ' '4 :1 't:' :: ' ::?: :: '$::"::::li::'f:::: r - ': "::? 1''''::: ::: $:: ' "1 :''''::1::6:: 1 :'5i55 1 zi :5: p ki'' '''''''l 1 i:0'-- 41""1 4 ''':M''1 s':": :'''"1 ‘it4ISAIr ': :::' :0::t:E::':: ::: ::::' :: ) 54:: 'S ' :: " :::4 ::::::t005: 1::'''::irl er: ':: ::: ::' ::: ' " ''' :':':: '''''''''' ':::f4::3: :' t :?ft'' :5!
