Basketball Betting Lines
08/20/2010 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The National Basketball Association has
suspended guard Delonte West for 10 games without pay for pleading guilty to
carrying a concealed weapon and wearing, carrying, and transporting a handgun,
in violation of the law of the state of Maryland.
West is currently a free agent after being traded by Cleveland to Minnesota
last month and was then waived by the Timberwolves earlier this month.
If he signs with an NBA team, his suspension will begin with the first regular
season league game he is eligible to play in.
In September, the St. Joseph's product was arrested following a traffic
stop on his motorcycle for allegedly carrying a 8.5-inch Bowie-style knife, a
9mm Beretta, a Ruger .357 and a shotgun inside a guitar case that was hanging
on his back.
West played the past 2 1/2 campaigns with Cleveland and averaged 8.8 points
with 3.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 60 games, including three starts, last
season.
The Wolves acquired West, along with Sebastian Telfair, in exchange for center
Ryan Hollins and guard Ramon Sessions on July 26.
The 27-year-old West has also played for Boston and Seattle in his six-year
career and has averaged 10.0 points with 3.7 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 364
games.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
