Knicks land McAdoo in bid to boost sagging team
The New York Knicks traded center forward John Gianelli and Tom McMillen for Bob McAdoo and a reserve, ending a lengthy negotiation with Buffalo. McAdoo, a three-time scoring champion, faces a possible five year, $500,000 per season deal, with his status for the next game uncertain after a groin pull. He aims to become the second player to win four straight scoring titles, a feat last achieved by Wilt Chamberlain.
