FORMER BUCKS GM DUNLEAVY SUES TEAM OVER SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

          Trail Blazers coach and former Bucks GM Mike Dunleavy
     filed a lawsuit Friday contending that the Bucks have not
     made good on his severance payments, according to an AP
     report in the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL.  Before leaving
     the Bucks in April, Dunleavy said he and the team entered
     into a severance agreement where the Bucks were to make
     semi-monthly payments to Dunleavy from May 15, '97 through
     May 14, 2000, plus a "relocation allowance."  The lawsuit
     contends the Bucks transferred the first payment to
     Dunleavy's account May 15, but later transferred the money
     back without telling Dunleavy.  Bucks officials could not be
     reached for comment (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 7/25).
