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."

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
