A BLUNT WARNING

Marijuana testing is coming to the NBA, and the players' union wants its
rank and file to know the time to stop partying is now. Player
representatives for the 29 teams were told at the union's annual meeting in
the Bahamas to spread the word to their teammates about the league's new
drug policy. Since marijuana can stay in a person's system for two to three
months, players who use it in July run a risk of getting caught in October.
"I would think that if guys are using, they got the message last year that
they'll be tested," Tyrone Corbin of the Hawks said.

Steroids also were added to the league's banned substances list during the
last collective bargaining negotiations. All players will be tested when
training camps open in October.

MOVES: The Cavaliers ended their search for a coach by hiring longtime
Timberwolves assistant Randy Wittman. Wittman, a member of Indiana's 1981
NCAA championship team and a journeyman in his NBA playing days, replaces
Mike Fratello, who was fired June 1. . . . Jim Cleamons, who won four NBA
championship rings as an assistant under Phil Jackson at Chicago, will
rejoin his former boss with the Lakers.
