Buffalo acquires 'Tiny' Archibald, trades Dantley PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) Nate "Tiny" Archibald, who in 1972-73 became the only player to lead the National Basketball Association in scoring and assists in the same season, has been traded by the Nets to the Buffalo Braves. The 6-1 Archibald, a guard, played in just 34 games for the Nets the past season. He missed the Nets' final 48 games due to a broken foot and was dealt to Buffalo Thursday for center George Johnson and a first-round choice in the 1979 draft. Archibald had come to the Nets prior to last season in a deal with the Kansas City Kings in exchange for guard Brian Taylor, center Jim Eakins and two No.

1 draft choices. Before his injury, Archibald averaged 20.5 points and had 254 assists. Johnson, a 6-11 center, began the 1976-77 campaign with Golden State, where he failed to beat out Clifford Ray and Robert Parish at center. In mid-season, he was dealt to Buffalo for a 1977 top draft choice but finished the year with 177 blocked shots sixth-best in the NBA. "Tiny's contract is not as much as advertised." said Braves owner John Y.

Brown, who earlier Thursday acquired forward Billy Knight, the NBA No. 2 scorer last season, from Indiana. In exchange, the Braves gave up 1976-77 rookie of the year Adrian Dantley and forward Mike Bantom. WP 'If I 'LaS. muA Xi.
