Walton Haunted by Personal Reasons to Leave NBA
Portland star Bill Walton weighs quitting pro basketball after two months as adviser Sam Gilbert says money is not the motive but life goals. Walton, in Los Angeles for a foot check, reportedly contemplates leaving Trail Blazers amid personal life questions, though Gilbert emphasizes no final decision and hopes he stays. The report notes Walton, NBA’s No. 1 draft pick, has long valued privacy and personal life over riches. In hockey, Winnipeg Jets ship Chris Bordeleau to Quebec Nordiques for Alain Beaule.
