Knicks nab McGrady in three-way deal
Basketball Betting Lines
02/18/2010 -
Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Knicks, Sacramento Kings and
Houston Rockets have reportedly agreed to terms on a deal that will see
McGrady wind up in the Big Apple.
The deal, being reported by ESPN.com, also has point guard Sergio Rodriguez
heading to New York.
Houston will get guard Kevin Martin from Sacramento and forwards Jordan Hill
and Jared Jeffries from New York and will also have the right to swap first-
round picks in 2011 with the Knicks in addition to a take on New York's 2012
first-round pick.
Sacramento acquires forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey from Houston along
with guard Larry Hughes from New York.
McGrady is coveted for his enormous expiring deal, which could help a club
knock significant dollars off the payroll at the end of the season. With
several major free agents-to-be looming in the summer of 2010, teams like the
Knicks are looking to shed as much salary as possible.
In his sixth season with Houston, McGrady has appeared in just six games in
2009-10 after undergoing microfracture surgery last year on his knee and has
scored 19 points.
Martin was pulled from Wednesday's game against Golden State in anticipation
of the trade. The report states that Kings coach Paul Westphal informed Martin
of the impending deal.
The 27-year-old Martin has spent his entire career with Sacramento but was
made expendable with the emergence of rookie Tyreke Evans. Martin suffered an
injury early in the season that caused him to miss a significant amount of
time, and he has averaged 19.8 points in 22 contests in 2009-10.
Landry, 26, has been a solid bench player for the Rockets the last three
seasons and is averaging 16.1 points per game in 52 contests. Dorsey has
played sparingly in his rookie season and averages 1.6 points in 7.7 minutes.
Hughes, 31, is in his 12th season in the NBA. Over 31 games this season, he
has averaged 9.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game over 26 1/2
minutes.
Rodriguez plays 13 minutes a game for the Kings and averages six points.
Hill, the eighth overall pick by New York in this year's draft, has averaged
4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds over 24 games.
Jeffries, a seven-year pro, has appeared in 52 games this season and averaged
5.5 points and 4.3 rebounds.
Dorsey has appeared in limited action over his two seasons in the league and
over seven games with Houston this season he has averaged 1.6 points and 3.6
rebounds.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
