Sources say that the grand plan for Booth Is tojnake WWWE the sports giant of old with the Browns, Indians and Cavs.

Doug Collins has emerged as the hot candidate to be the new coach of the Sacramento Kings. Milwaukee has 7-fool-3 Randy Breuer on the trading block. Sign outside Major Golsby's, a bar across from the arena, "Welcome Home Mo." Paul Mokeskl played for the Bucks for 6(4 seasons before signing with the Cavs as a free agent last summer. Milwaukee would receive possession of the ball. Wilkens called the decision, "ridiculous." He asked Javie what game he was watching.

Javie basically ignored him. Then Wilkens told Javie, "You're arrogant." Javie said, "You gonna say that again?" Wilkens said, "That's right, I said you're arrogant." John Williams had 16 points and Ehlo added 15. Obviously, Wilkens is searching for an answer. He even tried getting his first technical of the year. In the second quarter, John Williams fouled rookie Frank Komet on a drive to the basket.

Official Steve Javie ruled it a breakaway foul, meaning Kornet would get two foul shots and then Continued from page CI Jay Humphries led the Bucks with 27 points as he exploited the Cavs' defensive indecision in the backcourt. Barberton's Alvln Robertson had 14 points, 10 in the fourth quarter to keep the Cavs from getting closer than eight points. Price led the Cavs with his 20 points, including four 3-pointers.

It was Wilkens' first technical of the season, and he used no profanity in the entire exchange, which could be heard from the press table.

The Cavs trailed by nine points at the time of the technical. Then they started to climb back into the game and trailed by only 49-48 at the half. But then they literally threw the game away in the second half. NOTEBOOK The LA Clippers held a contest to find a nickname for Ron Harper and they came up with "Hollywood." You got It, "Hollywood Harper," whom the Clips are marketing as their Magic Johnson. Considering the fact that Harper had back-to-back games of 39 points heading into Friday night, Harper Is a big reason the Clips are finally starting to get some attention from the LA media.

With Friday's purchase of WWWE 1100-AM radio by Booth broadcasting, don't be surprised if the Cavaliers are back on that station next season. The Cavs will finish off their season with WRMR (850-AM) and their radio network. They have another year to run on that contract, but that can change, especially since that contract was signed with Booth Broadcasting, the company that just bought WWWE. Word from sources is that Booth paid $15 million for WWWE and to buy the rights to the Indians and Browns games from Sports Marketing Inc. The bulk of the $15 million went for the righjs for the sports teams.
