9/6/85
The Bill Walton deal is on hold because the Los Angeles Clippers keep clipping him and and the Celtics aren't kicking in any more money. Walton is owed a substantial amount of deferred compensation. When the trade that would send him to Boston first started to jell, the Clippers told him he would have to leave a chunk behind before they let him go. Walton said OK. Then they squeezed him for more, which caused a hangup. When that cleared last week and the trade looked like a reality, they pushed the price up a third time, which brought the entire matter to a halt. The total is now in six figures. One might call it a form of pro sports leg breaking.
