Cavs deal West, Telfair to T'Wolves for Sessions, HollinsBasketball Betting Lines07/26/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded guards Delonte West and Sebastian Telfair to the Minnesota Timberwolves for guard Ramon Sessions, center Ryan Hollins and a 2013 second-round draft pick. West averaged 8.8 points on 44.5-percent shooting in 60 games (three starts) during the 2009-10 season. The deal brings Telfair back to Minnesota, the team he played for from 2007-08, when he averaged 9.3 and 9.8 points, respectively, a season. Telfair, was acquired by the Cavaliers on Feb. 17, 2010 from the Los Angeles Clippers in a three-team trade. "I want to thank Ramon and Ryan for their time with us last season," said David Kahn, Timberwolves president of basketball operations. "With the arrivals of Luke Ridnour, Michael Beasley, Nikola Pekovic and the signing of Darko Milicic, it was clear that Ramon and Ryan would have lesser roles this season if they were to remain. This move provides them a better opportunity in Cleveland and adds to our flexibility both this season and beyond in relation to the salary cap." The 24-year-old Sessions played in all 82 games during the 2009-10 season, averaging 8.2 points on a career-high 45.6 percent shooting. He was a second- round draft pick of Milwaukee in 2007 and spent his first two seasons playing for the Bucks before being signed as a free agent with the Timberwolves. The 25-year-old Hollins set career bests in nearly every statistical category last season. The 7-foot center averaged 6.1 points on 55.8 percent shooting along with 2.8 rebounds. "In Ramon, we're excited to add a young, multi-dimensional guard, and with Ryan, we're adding a young, athletic center," Cavs general manager Chris Grant said. "We think both Ramon and Ryan are really good fits for this team. We're also happy to add another asset for the future with the additional draft pick. At the same time, we'd like to thank Sebastian and Delonte and wish them well in the future."

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East. Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around. The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
