News from September 20.

Charles Barkley (Pho) has decided that he will play again this season.

Houston signed Eldridge Recasner (G) to a 1 year contract.

TRADE: Detroit traded Bill Curley and the rights to Randolph Childress
(#19 in the rookie draft) to Portland for Otis Thorpe.  This was 
another draft day deal that was waiting on the ratification of the
new Collective Bargaining Agreement so the trade would work under the
salary cap.

Miami named Bob McAdoo, Scotty Robertson, and Stan Van Gundy as
assistant coaches.
