THE JORDAN WATCH: SCOTTIE'S ALL SMILES

     During the halftime of last night's TBS NBA game, Craig
Sager reported, "I met with Scottie Pippen privately this morning
before practice and he was all smiles, indicating Jordan's return
is inevitable.  His representative said that Pippen's contract
has not been altered, nor can it be until a new collective
bargaining agreement is reached, however teammate Larry
Krystowiak says that Pippen's change is obvious" (TBS,
3/16)....Bulls Coach Phil Jackson said yesterday an announcement
could come "within the next three or four days" and the delay has
been because "it's not a done deal."  Jordan avoided the throng
outside of the Bulls' suburban Chicago practice facility and did
not practice with the team (Melissa Isaacson, CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
3/17).
