| Show D13 The Salt Lake Tribune Sunday October 14 1990 Money Talks When Jazz Start Lining Up Exhibition Games Maybi:exhibition games don't Ellison Impressing Bullets mean mush to Jazz fans They are a bother to veteran players like Karl Malone who calls them "pretty much a waste of time" But to owner Larry Miller exhibition gams are critically important because they help pay the bills Kim Turner is the gay who sets up schedule the "Since:we have the smallest arena in the league we also have the smallest gate in the league" says Turner "That's why: it's very important for the Jazr to make money in the preseason "In the past especially when the team just moved here we scheduled preseason- games because we had to have prekason games And we lost money "Now owe have a good team with attractivd players Teams like Chicago wants to play us That helps us tre Sore-Foóte- newly-acquire- Ellison's problem: Sore feet that forced him to miss all but 34 games as a rookie in Sacramento First you recall Ellison had bone spurs removed Then he had tendonitis in his big toe He returned to duty late in February but it was already too late The fans in Sacramento had decided Ellison the No 1 pick in the 1989 draft was a bust "It was something I wouldn't want to repeat" says Ellison "When they announced my name they would boo so loud Not just a heckler a couple of boos It was tft the ' Steve Luhm I Just coliseum whole my name" Ellison also had trouble with coach Dick Motta's forward-orienteoffense He played center in between Antione Carr and Wayman Tisdale "There were no offensive plays for me" he saidi'"When I did play mendousiy because it's an area where we have to make money It's that simple Turner is the Jazz's director of media services Five years ago then David Checketts gave president--Ghim the kesponsibility of scheduling preseasop games 'Back then the Jazz could play exhibitions le iplaces like Butte and Anchorage Not any more Turner recalls the 1988 prciseason when the Jazz held camp in rt George and concluded it with a game against the Indiana Pacers It drep a capacity crowd of 5250 "The cost of having the team spend a week down there was about $350001 said Turner "That includes stuff like rooms per diems and transpor4tion and that's just about what we lade off the Pacer game We brokeeven and we can't afford to break even "For that reason —1 hcpe it doesn't sound litq I'm being negative — that's why we can't play preseason games in towns lik St George The arenas just aren't big enough That might change when we get our bigger arena built here iu 1991 but not now" According to Turner the Bulls are the leagi4e's highest-pai- d preseason attraction! Because of Michael Jor- d M like the Jazz Suns and Trail Blazers Turner says his begins the "long of putting together process" the Jazz's preseason schedule by finding two attractive teams willing to play in the Salt Palace That's because those two games are included in the season-tick- et package and management wants to reward their most faithful fans with a reasonably good game Most teams agreeing to play in the Salt Palace however also want the the Jazz to return the favor So Turner generally contracts to play those two teams on the road and half his eight-gam- e schedule is complete For the remaining four games pro- t ance Maile Johnson and the Lakers are next! at $120000 while Larry Bird and Boston earn about $100000 The Pistons are a surprising fourth at $80001-9000- 0 just ahead of teams it 1: e-- tD t -- t& ' 4 - - t I :4 1 t''''''t I I i ' vii 1 1 '''' ''$ ')': - 1 - ' ( ' ' tl ?' :' '12 v ' - t '''): ''' - '' i - 41 i ' ' - ' ' N -' i '' k - k p 1 ' 1 '04' i ' - i- 11 - ' - 4 4 t t i - - f ' - --- e t 1 La t - - ‘- v ' f!t q ft t '' 41 Press Photo —Associated e Pervis Ellison was a disappointment to Sacramento fans But he's been impressive since being traded to the Bullets training camp about 10 pounds overHe doesn't seem concerned however "The years I've come in in shape I've sorta gotten bored" he said "Maybe I'll take it seriously now" For somebody who'll be 34 on Dec 7 it's as good a time as any Another Celtic taking camp seriously is Michael Smith With coach Chris Ford's new regime in place the second-yea- r forward from BYU knows his job is on the line Smith's reaction? "I think it'll be great" he said "There's a whole new attitude and we really don't know who's going to be here That's kind of exciting Uncertainty brings humility and humility brings a work ethic and a work ethic brings results" After struggling with injuries early Smith saw only limited action under Jimmy Rodgers He did start seven straight games in February though Boston lost the last three before Smith was benched again "I never did know why I started if it when I would be starting or would happen again" said Smith "Then it stopped I figured I'd go from 32 minutes to 15 Instead I went to zero But it was new to me and I nally get done" If it sounds complicated it is But because of Turner's management and the Jazz's increased appeal Utah's preseason schedule has never been more rewarding Dating back to 1987 12 of the Jazz's last 23 exhibitions have drawn over 10000 fans In the previous seven years only one preseason game drew over 10000 In the last three years average attendance at Jazz preseason games has been 10706 8995 and 11426 In the previous three years it was 3658 5238 and 3843 Those numbers help the Jazz stay close to the competition in the NBA's economic race Turner points to the Lakers and says "The Forum has 5000 more seats than the Salt Palace But they're prime seats Off those seats n dollars more they make a than we do Multiply that by 41 regular season games and tell me what it name like Jordan or a player with local appeal Last year for example the Jazz opened the preseason in El Paso against Golden State It was the first pro game for Tim Hardaway the Warriors' No 1 draft choice out of UTER "You've got to take advantage of " said Turner your Already Turner is talking about a 1991 exhibition game between the Jazz and Bullets in Louisville Utah's Darrell Griffith is one of the Cardie nals' greats Washington's Pervis Ellison is another Turner is also closing in on a deal with Charlotte for an exhibition game at North Carolina State That's the alma mater of Jazz veteran Thurl weight half-millio- means" It means no preseason games in Butte that's what it means Bored in Boston? Celtic star Larry Bird reported to Around the league: As part of his sentencing for a recent offense SuperSonics guard Dale Ellis must spend one day in a DWI "security camp" During his stay Ellis will mingle with people who've had family andor close friends killed by drunk drivers Roy Tarpley weighed into the Mays' training camp at 265 or 20 pounds over his playing weight The Mays say for the moment they're not concerned Tarpley meanwhile was asked about his goals for the coming season He said "It's been a long time since I finished a whole season I just want to do that That's my goal" For the record Tar pley missed 82 games over the past two seasons because of his drug problems He's missed 16 more because of The 76ers' Charles Barkinjuries ley was stunned when he saw 7 225- pound Manute Bol drinking a light beer "Hey Manute" said Sir Charles "You don't have to drink light beer It's only for us fat guys" State coach Larry Farmer who for the past two years has been guiding the Kuwaiti national team obviously needs a job He's been attending the Warriors' training camp as a special assistant Add Warriors: Coach Don Nelson is making players run laps when they're fouled in practice and don't scream Explained Nelson "It's just a good thing to do The ref has the whistle in his mouth and he's taught to blow it We're just going to help him" Asked who's the best in the league at screaming to be noticed Golden State's Rod Higgins said "Magic is best hands down He doesn't miss He grunts and groans and moans every time somebody gets Asked about within a foot of him" reported trouble between Pat Riley and some of the Lakers last season Mychal Thompson shrugged "Every family has problems Me I like everybody pretty much except Michael JorSaddam Hussein" dan showed up at the Bulls' first practice session wearing a gold earring So did several teammates but coach Phil Jackson quickly intervened Jackson said any player showing up at practice wearing jewelry (including earThe rings) would be fined $250 Hawks' Alexander Volkov will miss an exhibition game in Hamilton Ontario Reason: team officials say they could get Volkov into Canada but getting him out might present problems because the Soviet national only possesses an American work permit not any type of visa or passport 7-- -- -- I 1 ''''k r ''''' r- i j s ' A 'tet ' q !
