Wizards get Hinrich from BullsBasketball Betting Lines07/08/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Wizards have acquired guard Kirk Hinrich, the draft rights to Kevin Seraphin and cash considerations from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Vladimir Veremeenko. The deal was put together on June 24, the day of the NBA Draft, and made official Thursday after the league's moratorium on player transactions was lifted and the salary cap ramifications of the deal were sorted out. Hinrich, who was set to make $17 million over the final two years of a $47.5 million pact agreed upon at the start of the 2006-07 season, had spent his entire seven-year pro tenure in Chicago. The former Kansas standout started 53 of 74 games last season and averaged 10.9 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 37.1 percent from three-point range. In 514 career games with the Bulls, including 433 starts, the 29-year-old has averaged 13.4 points, 5.8 assists, 3.4 boards and shot 37.9 percent on threes. He's made at least 100 three-pointers in all but two of his NBA seasons. He leaves as the Bulls all-time leader in three-point field goals made (812) and attempted (2,144) and ranks fourth in team history in assists (3,004) and steals (655). The 20-year-old Seraphin, a 6-foot-9, 240-pounder from French Guiana, was the 17th overall selection in last month's draft. He helped France win the silver medal at the 2009 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship. "We are excited to add Kirk and Kevin to our team, as their acquisitions significantly bolsters our roster," said Wizards general manager Ernie Grunfeld. "Kirk will provide another solid veteran presence to our backcourt and bring playoff-tested toughness, defense and leadership." Veremeenko was a second round choice, 48th overall, by the Wizards in the 2006 NBA Draft and has yet to play in the league. He spent last season in the Russia-A Superleague.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change TeamsIt’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column. We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side. Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor. Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season. Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference. The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs. |
