NEW YORK, (AP) - Commissiooer Walter Kennedy gave
rebellious National Basketball
Association players Friday until
noon next Tuesday to agree to
participate in the postseason
playoffs under threat of calling
thera off.
Simultaneously he offered further negotiations over the issues,
chief of which is the players 1 demand for a pension of $600
monthly for 10 year men. NBA
owners have offered approximately $500 The present pennon is about $200 monthly.
Lawrence Fleisher, counsel
for the players, told newspapermen that the players were willing to meet with the NBA owners ' a n y time over the weekend but Kennedy told me he
didn't think this would be possible before Tuesday.'*
Fleisher added that "there is
no change in the players* posi-
tion." The players have threatened to strike unless their demands are met.
oyq
"The players are even willing
to fly here this weekend," said
Fleisher.
"1 hope we can sit down and
talk"
If the playoffs a r e canceled,
the $280,000 players' pool will
evaporate
' T h e owners and the pla\ers
have substantial obligations to
the public in the NBA playoffs

March 2 1 / ' Kennedy said in a
telegram to Fleisher.
'The owners expect the players to honor those obligations,
to comply with their contracts,
and to participate in the plavotts

Kennedy pointed out that t t *
team owners had contracts with
arenas, as well as the cost of
printing and distributing playoff
tickets, to consider.
Kennedy made his announcement at a press conference. He
emphasized the conciliator)* nature of his telegram, however.
"Whether or not the commit*
merit to participate in the playoffs is given, the owners nevertheless will still honor their commitment to meet and negotiate
with the players' committee as
soon as mutually convenient
dates can be arranged,*' Kenned> said in his telegram.
The telegram also was sent to
