Blazers officially sign G Matthews
Basketball Betting Lines
07/21/2010 -
Portland, OR (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Portland Trail Blazers have
officially signed restricted free-agent guard Wesley Matthews.
As per club policy, no terms of the deal were announced. However, a report in
the Oregonian last week placed the pact at five years and $34 million.
The Blazers signed Matthews to an offer sheet on July 10 which his former
team, the Utah Jazz, declined to match.
Matthews was relied on right away as a rookie last season, averaging 9.4
points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 24.7 minutes per game. He played in
all 82 games, making 48 starts.
Undrafted after his four-year career at Marquette, Matthews proved himself
further by posting 13.2 points, 4.4 boards, 1.7 assists and 1.8 steals in
starting all 10 of Utah's playoff games in 2009-10.
"Wesley is a great fit for our team both on and off the court," said new
Portland general manager Rich Cho. "As only a first-year player last season,
he demonstrated a lot of maturity and ability. He's already one of the best
young defenders in the league and offensively he's an emerging threat. He's
going to add a lot of versatility to our roster."

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Bet NFL Sports Lines
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
